- Abstract / Summary
- When Israel invaded Lebanon in June 1982, the United States became deeply involved. Different elements in the U.S. government were at odds over policy issues: the pace and direction the U.S.-brokered negotiations should take; whether to pressure Israel to moderate its demands; whether U.S. military power should bolster diplomatic efforts; and the degree to which the U.S. should view the Lebanon issue as a superpower confrontation. This case study is intended to stimulate a discussion on supporting diplomacy with military power, and of how the interests of U.S. executive agencies shape policymaking. It can be used as a complement to “The War Powers Resolution and U.S. Policy in Lebanon, 1982-1984” (Case Study 184).
