Abstract
of the world. This is hardly a political program likely to win votes or repair the shattered domestic consensus necessary to sustain an effective foreign policy. Progressives may not like the conservative, militarist, ecologically destructive, and racist attitudes of much of the American public, but disapproval is not a transformative politics. In this respect, progressive grand strategy needs to begin at home and perhaps is best thought of as the declaratory foreign policy of a social movement. If so, its lack of political appeal beyond committed progressives is yet another dimension of its autism, while the real work of progressive strategic thought remains undone.
期刊介绍:
Security Studies publishes innovative scholarly manuscripts that make a significant contribution – whether theoretical, empirical, or both – to our understanding of international security. Studies that do not emphasize the causes and consequences of war or the sources and conditions of peace fall outside the journal’s domain. Security Studies features articles that develop, test, and debate theories of international security – that is, articles that address an important research question, display innovation in research, contribute in a novel way to a body of knowledge, and (as appropriate) demonstrate theoretical development with state-of-the art use of appropriate methodological tools. While we encourage authors to discuss the policy implications of their work, articles that are primarily policy-oriented do not fit the journal’s mission. The journal publishes articles that challenge the conventional wisdom in the area of international security studies. Security Studies includes a wide range of topics ranging from nuclear proliferation and deterrence, civil-military relations, strategic culture, ethnic conflicts and their resolution, epidemics and national security, democracy and foreign-policy decision making, developments in qualitative and multi-method research, and the future of security studies.
