This book examines the factors that influence host countries' decisions to allow foreign military bases on their territory, and how these bases shape the host countries' foreign policy and security strategies.

Overseas bases are a key component of the global security landscape. They provide states with a forward presence in strategic regions, allowing them to project power, deter aggression, and respond to crises. However, the presence of foreign military bases can also have a significant impact on the host country, both positive and negative.

This book examines the factors that influence host countries' decisions to allow foreign military bases on their territory. It also explores the impact of these bases on the host countries' foreign policy and security strategies. The book draws on a wide range of case studies, from the United States' bases in Japan and South Korea to Russia's bases in Syria and the United Kingdom's bases in Cyprus.

This book is a valuable resource for scholars and policymakers interested in the role of overseas bases in international relations and security studies. It provides a comprehensive overview of the factors that influence host countries' decisions to allow foreign military bases on their territory, and it explores the impact of these bases on the host countries' foreign policy and security strategies.
