Hierarchy and the State: State-Building in the Shadow of American Economic Power - Softcover

Hierarchy and the State

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Does American influence help or hinder the capacity-building of partner states In Hierarchy and the State, Patrick E. Shea challenges the conventional wisdom that US influence undermines state-building in developing countries, instead arguing that US support has actually enhanced state capacity over the past forty years. The book asserts that American economic power plays a pivotal role in enhancing a state's ability to build and sustain itself. Tracing the evolution of US property rights promotion from 1782 to the present, it reveals the complex interplay of economic and security interests that shape American foreign policy. Through cutting-edge quantitative techniques and original data on US hierarchy, Hierarchy and the State provides robust evidence for the mechanisms linking international influence, property rights, and state-building outcomes. Its novel framework will change the way scholars examine the international politics of state-building. Artikel-Nr. 9781009609319
