Base Towns
In Base Towns, Claudia Junghyun Kim addresses how local populations respond to the U.S. military bases they host by investigating the contentious politics surrounding twenty U.S. bases across Korea and Japan. Drawing on fieldwork interviews, participant observation, and protest event data from 2000-2015, Kim shows that activists in base towns successfully build broad-based anti-base movements when they take advantage of quotidian disruption, adopt culturally resonant movement frames, and ally with local political elites. In examining activist actions, strategies, and dilemmas, this book sheds light on marginalized actors in domestic and international politics who sometimes manage to complicate the operations of America's military behemoth.
American Power and Liberal Order
Paul D. Miller offers a tough minded critique of recent trends in American grand strategy. He rejects retrenchment but also the excesses of liberal internationalism. He prescribes a conservative internationalist grand strategy to preserve the American security and leadership in the world while avoiding overstretch. Originally written before the 2016 US presidential election, this first paperback edition contains a new preface that repositions the book’s argument for the Trump era. Miller explains why President Trump’s nationalist vision for American grand strategy damages US interests and world order. Miller blends academic rigor with his experiences as former member of the National Secu...

Terrorist Sanctuary in the Sahara
Denying terrorists sanctuary has become a pillar of U.S. defense strategy since the September 11, 2001 (9/11) attacks. Violent extremist organizations in North Africa, such as the group al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM), have used remote and sparsely populated areas in the Sahara for protection from security forces to conduct a range of terrorist activities, such as training, planning, and logistics.1 Despite the time elapsed since the 9/11 attacks, and the resources dedicated to denying sanctuary globally, the concept of sanctuary remains largely unexplored and poorly understood. This monograph proposes a functional understanding of sanctuary and offers fresh ideas to deny it using a detailed case study of the most notorious of these North African terrorists, Mokhtar Belmokhtar, from his arrival in Mali in the late 1990s, until the French intervention in early 2013.
