Introduction. Mission Creep Writ Large : The U.S. Military's Embrace of Stability Operations -- 1. Stability Operations in Context -- 2. Doctrine and Stability Operations -- 3. Practical Adjustments to Achieve Doctrinal Requirements -- 4. Explaining the Military's Mission Revolution -- 5. Implications of Mission Revolution -- 6. A New World Order?
"Jennifer Morrison Taw examines the military's sudden embrace of stability operations and its implications for American foreign policy and war. Through a detailed examination of deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan, changes in U.S. military doctrine, adaptations in force preparation, and the political dynamics behind this new stance, Taw connects the preference for stability operations to the far-reaching, overly ambitious American preoccupation with managing international stability. She also shows how domestic politics have reduced civilian agencies' capabilities while fostering an unhealthy overreliance on the military. Introducing new concepts such as securitized instability and institutional privileging, Taw builds a framework for understanding and analyzing the expansion of the American armed forces' responsibilities in an ever-changing security landscape"--Provided by publisher.
