What explains the high levels of public confidence in the US military and does high confidence matter? In Thanks for Your Service, the eminent civil-military relations scholar Peter D. Feaver addresses this question and focuses on what it means for the military. Proprietary survey data show that confidence is partly based on public beliefs about the military's high competence, adherence to high professional ethics, and a determination to stand apart from the bitter divisions of partisan politics. However, as Feaver argues, confidence is also shaped by a partisan gap and by social desirability bias, the idea that some individuals express confidence in the military because they believe that is the socially approved attitude to hold. Not only does Feaver help us understand how and why the public has confidence in the military, but he also exposes problems that policymakers need to be aware of. Specifically, this book traces how confidence in the institution shapes public attitudes on the use of force and may not always reinforce best practices in democratic civil-military relations.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49745226203409,"sku":"NGR9780197681138","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":50999963812113,"sku":"NIN9780197681138","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ LIKE_NEW \/ SBYB","offer_id":52888698519825,"sku":"CIN0197681131LN","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0197681131.jpg?v=1772273872"},{"product_id":"armed-servants-book-peter-d-feaver-9780674010512","title":"Armed Servants","description":"How do civilians control the military? In the wake of September 11, the renewed presence of national security in everyday life has made this question all the more pressing. In this book, Peter Feaver proposes an ambitious new theory that treats civil-military relations as a principal-agent relationship, with the civilian executive monitoring the actions of military agents, the \"armed servants\" of the nationstate. Military obedience is not automatic but depends on strategic calculations of whether civilians will catch and punish misbehavior.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50355463618833,"sku":"CIN0674010515G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53650262360337,"sku":"GOR014992922","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0674010515.jpg?v=1751041840"},{"product_id":"choosing-your-battles-book-peter-d-feaver-9780691124278","title":"Choosing Your Battles","description":"America's debate over whether and how to invade Iraq clustered into civilian versus military camps. Top military officials appeared reluctant to use force, the most hawkish voices in government were civilians who had not served in uniform, and everyone was worried that the American public would not tolerate casualties in war. This book shows that this civilian-military argument--which has characterized earlier debates over Bosnia, Somalia, and Kosovo--is typical, not exceptional. Indeed, the underlying pattern has shaped U.S. foreign policy at least since 1816. The new afterword by Peter Feaver and Christopher Gelpi traces these themes through the first two years of the current Iraq war, showing how civil-military debates and concerns about sensitivity to casualties continue to shape American foreign policy in profound ways.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50357050442001,"sku":"CIN0691124272G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50762628038929,"sku":"CIN0691124272VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51005721575697,"sku":"NIN9780691124278","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0691124272.jpg?v=1751008686"},{"product_id":"soldiers-and-civilians-book-peter-d-feaver-9780262561426","title":"Soldiers and Civilians","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50945204486417,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50945204748561,"sku":"CIN0262561425VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0262561425.jpg?v=1751101128"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-au\/collections\/author-books-by-peter-d-feaver.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
