Paul D. Miller offers a tough-minded critique of this trending body of thought  arguing that US security in fact depends on active  sustained support of the international liberal order.  Miller blends academic rigor with his experiences as former Director for Afghanistan and Pakistan on the National Security Council to offer conservative internationalist prescriptions for US grand strategy. Dismissing claims of overextended US resources and perceived safety  Miller argues that nuclear autocracies  armed non-state actors  failed states  and the transnational jihadist movement still pose immense threats to American security and the international system. His analysis offers policy options for balancing against the nuclear autocracies  championing liberalism to maintain the balance of power in its favor  targeting militant non-state actors  investing in governance in weak and failed states  and strengthening homeland security. As Miller shows  these necessary steps will fortify the international liberal order that forms the outer perimeter of American security  and aid US efforts to craft a more just peace among nations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45648349331509,"sku":"ByrdShop_1626163421","price":44.03,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781626163423.jpg?v=1781716765","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/american-power-and-liberal-order-a-conservative-internationalist-grand-strategy-9781626163423","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
