Social Unrest and American Military Bases in Turkey and Germany since 1945 - Holmes, Amy Austin (American University of Cairo)

Amy Austin Holmes argues that the relationship between US military presence in foreign countries and the non-US citizens under its security umbrella is inherently contradictory. She suggests that while the host population may be fully enfranchised citizens of their own government, they are at the same time disenfranchised vis--vis the US presence.
