Review
"This timely RAND Corporation study focuses on threats of military action and on the coercive functions of military operations in war. . . . All in all, The Dynamics of Coercion should be must-reading for all practitioners and scholars of the art, especially those who, encouraged by the administration's optimism for controllable war, are unworried by the new enthusiasm for coercive diplomacy." Political Science Quarterly
"This important work offers a fresh look at the potential strengths and weaknesses of coercion in American foreign policy in the 21st century. Highly recommended." Choice

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Successful coercion should be relatively simple for the United States. Since the demise of the Soviet Union, the United States is without rivals in military might, political influence, or economic strength. Yet despite the lopsided US edge in raw power, regional foes persist in defying the threats and ultimatums brought by the United States and its allies. This book examines why some attempts to strong-arm an adversary work while others do not. It explores how coercion today differs from coercion during the Cold War. It describes the constraints on the United States emanating from the need to work within coalitions and the restrictions imposed by domestic politics, and it assesses the special challenges likely to arise when an adversary is a non-state actor or when the use of weapons of mass destruction is possible. It examines how the United States does, and should, use limited military force and other means of influencing adversaries. It reviews when limited force can, and cannot, work. It examines a range of current challenges, including those of guerrilla groups, minor powers armed with nuclear, chemical or biological weapons.
