Böcker av Frank P. Harvey

Focusing on cases of asymmetric US encounters with smaller powers since the end of the Cold War, Harvey and Mitton reveal that reputations matter for credibility in international politics. This dynamic and deeply documented study successfully brings reputation back to the table of foreign diplomacy.

The book challenges critics to demonstrate the successes -- as distinct from the promises -- of multilateral security and to prove that their preferred alternative has achieved the victories that would justify a sweeping rejection of unilateralism.
