• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Simply defined, threat inflation is the effort by elites to create concern for a threat that goes beyond the scope and urgency that disinterested analysis would justify, such as in the build up to the Iraq war and over Iran's nuclear ambitions since mid-2007. This work addresses threat inflation in American foreign policy and domestic politics.

---

This edited volume examines threat inflation, and its role in framing US foreign and security policy since 9/11.
