Great Power Competition and Overseas Bases - by Andrew Yeo & Isaac Kardon (Hardcover)

About the Book

Book Synopsis

This book reveals the varied motivations for overseas military bases and base access among great powers and offers a valuable window into the nature and scope of the broader "great power competition" underway in the twenty-first century.

Review Quotes

Superb. A timely and thoughtful examination of the drivers and consequences of past and future military basing considerations and decisions that have and will shape the geostrategic landscape. A must read by those who ponder the future of great power competition and military force design.

The book presents a measured and deeply informed assessment by tremendously talented thinkers from both academic and policy of three different, but potentially effective, approaches to overseas bases and international politics. This is essential reading on an underappreciated subject.
