520    Why do states block some foreign direct investment on 
       national security grounds even when it originates from 
       within their own security community? Government 
       intervention into foreign takeovers of domestic companies 
       is on the rise, and many observers find it surprising that
       states engage in such behaviour not only against their 
       strategic and military competitors, but also against their
       closest allies. Ashley Lenihan argues that such puzzling 
       behaviour can be explained by recognizing that states use 
       intervention into cross-border mergers and acquisitions as
       a tool of statecraft to internally balance the economic 
       and military power of other states through non-military 
       means. This book tests this theory using quantitative and 
       qualitative analysis of transactions in the United States,
       Russia, China, and fifteen European Union states. It 
       deepens our understanding of why states intervene in 
       foreign takeovers, the relationship between 
       interdependence and conflict, the limits of globalization,
       and how states are balancing power in new ways.
