“Mobilizing Force helps to demonstrate that the relationship between ‘threat’ and democratic control of the military is complex―and subject to both contestation and manipulation. It is a significant step forward in our understanding of the role of the public in concepts of control.”―Lindsay Cohn, US Naval War College. What leads a democratic government to use military force to counter a domestic or external threat? How does it legitimize this mobilization to its citizenry? And what is the significance for civilian control of the military? The authors of Mobilizing Force draw on case studies from around the world to systematically examine these critical questions, exploring the interrelationships among security threats, the militarization of security policy, and democratic accountability.
