Inescapable Entrapments?
The Civil-Military Decision Paths to Uruzgan and Helmand
New insights into how contemporary civilian and military leaders make decisions.
Inescapable Entrapments? reevaluates the role of the military in foreign policy by comparing the decision-making processes behind British and Dutch military action in Afghanistan. Drawing on more than one hundred interviews, this study finds that neither the military nor the government influenced the other to act; rather, the decision to deploy troops to Afghanistan emerged organically from a series of prior transnational commitments.
