This book fills the gap by examining and comparing the roles and behavior of both men and women in political decision-making, public policy, and political institutions. Now updated and expanded, the book presents a full complement of empirical studies of real and imagined gender gaps. New to this edition are chapters on the media, legislative behavior, foreign policy, and the future of the gender dimension in American politics. The book is structured to parallel the typical course on the American political system. 606 $aSex role$xPolitical aspects$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xPolitics and government 615 0$aSex role$xPolitical aspects 676 $a305.30973 701 $aJosephson$b Jyl J.$f1960-$01870046 701 $aTolleson-Rinehart$b Sue$f1952-$01870047 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910973819503321 996 $aGender and American politics$94478369 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03428nam 2200601Ia 450 001 9910970855203321 005 20251117091820.0 010 $a0-300-17744-5 024 7 $a10.12987/9780300177442 035 $a(CKB)2550000000064356 035 $a(StDuBDS)AH24090761 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000539991 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11339861 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000539991 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10596565 035 $a(PQKB)10461666 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3420755 035 $a(DE-B1597)486227 035 $a(OCoLC)994456520 035 $a(DE-B1597)9780300177442 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL3420755 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10511629 035 $a(OCoLC)923596645 035 $z(OCoLC)994456520 035 $a(EXLCZ)992550000000064356 100 $a20110217d2011 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||||||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aPerilous glory $ethe rise of western military power /$fJohn France 205 $a1st ed. 210 $aNew Haven $cYale University Press$dc2011 215 $a1 online resource (448 p.) 300 $aBibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph 311 08$a0-300-12074-5 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $tFrontmatter -- $tCONTENTS -- $tList of Illustrations and Maps -- $tPreface -- $t1.

Historian John France explores the experience of war around the globe, in Europe, Asia, Africa, and America. His bold conclusions cast doubt on well-entrenched attitudes about the development of military strength, the impact of culture on warfare, the future of Western dominance, and much more.Taking into account wars waged by virtually all civilizations since the beginning of recorded history, France finds that despite enormous cultural differences, war was conducted in distinctly similar ways right up to the Military Revolution and the pursuit of technological warfare in the nineteenth century. Since then, European and American culture has shaped warfare, but only because we have achieved a sense of distance from it, France argues. He warns that the present eminence of U.S. power is much more precarious and accidental than commonly believed. The notion that war is a distant phenomenon is only an illusion, and our cultural attitudes must change accordingly. 606 $aMilitary art and science$xHistory 606 $aMilitary history 615 0$aMilitary art and science$xHistory. 615 0$aMilitary history. 676 $a355/.03301821 700 $aFrance$b John$0779274 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910970855203321 996 $aPerilous glory$94529443 997 $aUNINA
