War, the American State, and Politics since 1898

This book examines major international conﬂicts from the Spanish-

American War through Vietnam, arguing that foreign wars have strong

effects on American state development, policymaking, political parties,

and elections. First, major wars expose and highlight problems requiring

governmental solutions or necessitating emergency action. Second, despite

well-known curtailments of civil liberties, wars often enhance democ-

racy by drawing attention to the contributions of previously marginalized

groups and facilitating the extension of fuller citizenship rights to them.

Finally, wars affect the party system. Foreign conﬂicts create crises – many

of which are unanticipated – that require immediate attention, supplant

prior issues on the policy agenda, and engender shifts in party ideology.

These new issues and redeﬁnitions of party ideology frequently inﬂuence

elections by shaping both elite and mass behavior.
