Conclusion: Wars, casualties, politics, and policies. 520 $a Gartner and Segura consider the costs of war -- both human and political -- by examining the consequences of foreign combat on domestic politics. The personal costs of war -- the military war dead and injured -- are the most salient measure of war costs generally and the primary instrument through which war affects domestic politics. The authors posit a general framework for understanding war initiation, war policy, and war termination in democratic polities, and the role that citizens and their deaths through conflict play in those policy choices. Employing a variety of empirical methods, they examine multiple wars from the last 100 years, conducting analyses of tens of thousands of individuals across a wide variety of historical and hypothetical conditions, while also addressing policy implications. This study will be of interest to students and scholars in American foreign policy, international politics, public opinion, national security, American politics, communication studies, and military history. 650 0 $a Politics and war $z United States. 650 0 $a War casualties $z United States. 650 0 $a War $x Economic aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a War and society $z United States. 650 0 $a Conflict management $z United States. 651 0 $a United States $x Foreign relations. 650 0 $a Mass media and war $z United States. 650 0 $a War $x Public opinion. 650 0 $a Elections $z United States $x History. 650 7 $a Conflict management. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00874778 650 7 $a Diplomatic relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01907412 650 7 $a Elections. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00904324 650 7 $a Mass media and war. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01011378 650 7 $a Politics and war. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01069964 650 7 $a War and society. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01170447 650 7 $a War casualties. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01170454 650 7 $a War $x Economic aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01170335 650 7 $a War $x Public opinion. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01170368 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 $a Segura, Gary M., $d 1963- $e author. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Segura, Gary M., $t Costly calculations $b First Edition. $d New York : Cambridge University Press, 2021. $z 9781139871662 $w (DLC) 2020049480 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220526013923.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8ED073F6323411EC8B1165C359ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
