Cult of the Irrelevant: The Waning Influence of Social Science on National Security
Book 43 of 66: Princeton Studies in International History and PoliticsLanguage: English
Published by Princeton University Press, 2021
ISBN 10: 069122899X ISBN 13: 9780691228990
Paperback. Condition: Very good+. Condition: used - Very good+. Slight marks on cover, text clear and unmarked. ______ How professionalization and scholarly ârigorâ made social scientists increasingly irrelevant to US national security policy. To mobilize Americaâs intellectual resources to meet the security challenges of the postâ"9/11 world, US Secretary of Defense Robert M. Gates observed that âwe must again embrace eggheads and ideas.â But the gap between national security policymakers and international relations scholars has become a chasm. In Cult of the Irrelevant, Michael Desch traces the history of the relationship between the Beltway and the Ivory Tower from World War I to the present day. Recounting key Golden Age academic strategists such as Thomas Schelling and Walt Rostow, Deschâs narrative shows that social science research became most oriented toward practical problem-solving during times of war and that scholars returned to less relevant work during peacetime. Social science disciplines like political science rewarded work that was methodologically sophisticated over scholarship that engaged with the messy realities of national security policy, and academic culture increasingly turned away from the job of solving real-world problems. In the name of scientific objectivity, academics today frequently engage only in basic research that they hope will somehow trickle down to policymakers. Drawing on the lessons of this history as well as a unique survey of current and former national security policymakers, Desch offers concrete recommendations for scholars who want to shape government work. The result is a rich intellectual history and an essential wake-up call to a field that has lost its way. 522 6.25,"unit":"INCHES"},{"value":1.0,"unit":"INCHES"},{"value":9.25,"unit":"INCHES"}].

Civilian Control of the Military (Paperback)
Language: English
Published by Johns Hopkins University Press, Baltimore, MD, 2001
ISBN 10: 0801866391 ISBN 13: 9780801866395
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The end of the Cold War brought widespread optimism about the future of civil-military relations. But as Michael Desch argues in this thought-provoking challenge to Harold Lasswell's famous "garrison state" thesis, the truth is that civilian authorities have not been able to exert greater control over military policies and decision making. In wartime, civil authorities cannot help but pay close attention to military matters. In times of peace, however, civilian leaders are less interested in military affairs - and therefore often surrender them to the military. Focusing on a wide range of times and places, Desch begins with a look at changes in US civil-military relations since the end of the Cold War. He then turns to the former Soviet Union, explaining why it was easier for civilians to control the Soviet military than its present-day Russian successor. He examines the Hindenburg-Ludendorff dictatorship in World War I Germany, Japan during the inter-war era, and France's role in the Algerian crisis. Finally, he explores the changing domestic security environment and civil-military relations in South America. Finally, he explores the changing domestic security environment and civil-military relations in South America.
