BacevichUpdated edition.Oxford ;New York Oxford University Press20131 online resource (304 pages)Bibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph0-19-993176-3 Includes bibliographical references and index.This is an updated edition of Andrew J. Bacevich's valuable examination of the dangerous obsession that has taken hold of Americans: a marriage of militarism and blind utopian ideology, of unprecedented military might and a blind faith in the universality of American values.In this provocative book, Andrew Bacevich warns of a dangerous dual obsession that has taken hold of Americans, both conservatives and liberals alike. It is a marriage of militarism and utopian ideology, of unprecedented military might wed to a blind faith in the universality of American values. This mindset, Bacevich warns, invites endless war and the ever-deepening militarization of U.S. policy. It promises not to perfect but to pervert American ideals and to accelerate thehollowing out of American democracy. In The New American Militarism, Bacevich examines the origins and implications of this misguided enterprise. He shows how American militarism emerged as a reaction to the Vietnam War, when various groups in American society -soldiers, politicians on the make, intellectuals, strategists, Christian evangelicals, even purveyors of pop culture-came to see the revival of military power and the celebration of military values as the antidote to all the ills besetting the country as aconsequence of Vietnam and the 1960s. The upshot, acutely evident in the aftermath of 9/11, has been a revival of vast ambitions, this time coupled with a pronounced affinity for the sword. Bacevich urges Americans to restore a sense of realism and a sense of proportion to U.S. policy. He proposes, in short, to bringAmerican purposes and American methods-especially with regard to the role of the military-back into harmony with the nation's founding ideals.For this edition, Bacevich has written a new Afterword in which he considers how American militarism has changed in the past five years. He explores in particular how this ideology has functioned under Barack Obama, who ran for president on a campaign based on "Hope for change and for a new beginning. Despite such rhetoric, Bacevich powerfully suggests, the attitudes and arrangements giving rise to the new American militarism remain intact and inviolable as ever.MilitarismUnited StatesHistory21st centuryConservatismUnited StatesHistory21st centuryUnited StatesMilitary policyUnited StatesForeign relations2001-2009United StatesPolitics and government2001-2009Electronic books.MilitarismHistoryConservatismHistory355.02130973Bacevich A.

The 18 revised full papers presented together with 4 invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 40 submissions. The aim of FORMATS is to promote the study of fundamental and practical aspects of timed systems, and to bring together researchers from different disciplines that share interests in the modelling and analysis of timed systems.Typical topics include (but are not limited to): – Foundations and Semantics. Theoretical foundations of timed systems and languages; comparison between different models (timed automata, timed Petri nets, hybrid automata, timed process algebra, max-plus algebra, probabilistic models). – Methods and Tools. Techniques, algorithms, data structures, and software tools for analyzing timed systems and resolving temporal constraints (scheduling, worst-case execution time analysis, optimization, model checking, testing, constraint solving, etc.). – Applications. Adaptation and specialization of timing technology in application domains in which timing plays an important role (real-time software, hardware circuits, and problems of scheduling in manufacturing and telecommunication).Theoretical Computer Science and General Issues,2512-2029 ;5813Computer science—MathematicsCompilers (Computer programs)Software engineeringComputer scienceMathematics of ComputingCompilers and InterpretersSoftware EngineeringComputer Science Logic and Foundations of ProgrammingTheory of ComputationModels of ComputationComputer science—Mathematics.Compilers (Computer programs).Software engineering.Computer science.Mathematics of Computing.Compilers and Interpreters.Software Engineering.Computer Science Logic and Foundations of Programming.Theory of Computation.Models of Computation.004n/aDAT 260fstubDAT 510fstubDAT 550fstubSS 4800rvkOuaknine Joeledthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtVaandrager Frits Wedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtFORMATS 2009BOOK996465632603316Formal Modeling and Analysis of Timed Systems772562UNISA
