Maurer, Daniel.

Crisis, agency, and law in US civil-military relations[electronic resource] /by Daniel Maurer. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2017. - ix, 227 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

1. Introduction -- 2. The Opening Statement -- 3. The Case-in-Chief: What the Law Does (Not) Say -- 4. The Expert Witnesses: A Cross-Examination -- 5. The Expert Witnesses: Fingerprints of Agency -- 6. The Rebuttal Witnesses: From Agency to Norms to Diagnosis -- 7. Exhibit A: Scope of Responsibility and Authority -- 8. Boundaries, or A "Poverty of Useful and Unambiguous Authority?" -- 9. Exhibit B: When Fidelity and Frankness Conflict -- 10. Exhibit C: Amending the Goldwater-Nichols Act -- 11. Exhibit D: The Future Fallacy, A Civ-Mil Dialogue -- 12. Closing Argument.

This book develops a responsible and practical method for evaluating the success, failure, or "crisis" of American civil-military relations among its political and uniformed elite. The author's premise is that currently there is no objectively fair way for the public at large or the strategic-level elites to assess whether the critical and often obscured relationships between Generals, Admirals, and Statesmen function as they ought to under the US constitutional system. By treating these relationships--in form and practice--as part of a wider principal (civilian)-agency (military) dynamic, the book tracks the "duties"--care, competence, diligence, confidentiality, scope of responsibility--and perceived shortcomings in the interactions between US civilian political authorities and their military advisors in both peacetime and in war.
