Summary:

"Presenting a theoretical explanation for why great power patrons pursue burden-sharing and why such efforts succeed or fail, this book challenges recent domestic frustration against a seeming lack of allied burden-sharing and offers insights into contemporary US alliance politics forefronted by conflicts and tensions in Europe, the Asia-Pacific, and elsewhere"-- Provided by publisher.
