Since
World
War
II,
a
key
element
of
America’s
grand
strategy
has
been
its
worldwide
network
of
strategic
allies
and
partners.
The
network
has
provided
the
United
States
an
invaluable
global
presence,
enhanced
deterrence
against
adversaries
and,
when
called
upon,
provided
men
and
materiel
to
help
fight
wars.
However,
following
the
end
of
the
Cold
War,
less
attention
has
been
paid
to
America’s
allies,
especially
their
“hard
power”
capabilities,
despite
the
United
States
and
its
allies
going
to
war
more
frequently
than
before.
This
volume
addresses
that
gap,
providing
a
holistic
account
of
allied
hard
power
and,
in
turn,
the
ability
–
and,
indirectly,
the
willingness
–
of
those
same
partners
to
use
force
independently
or
in
concert
with
the
United
States
and
other
allies.
