Recenzje

'This is an invaluable and comprehensive guide to academic theories about how the American national security system works in practice. This textbook fills a critical gap in making the theories of foreign policy analysis understandable and relevant for current and future practitioners. Speaking as a current academic and former military leader, I strongly recommend this as essential reading for civilian and military students alike who are seeking to hone their skills to become effective and successful national security professionals.' James Stavridis, retired Admiral, US Navy, Supreme Allied Commander, NATO (2009–13), Dean Emeritus, The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy (2013–18)
