Escalation Management in Gray Zone Crises
This study addresses the dynamics of how states employ proxies to achieve their strategic goals in the so-called gray zone between normal competition and armed conflict. The basic question is whether the use of proxies by the challenger in a crisis decreases the probability that the defender state will respond with violence. We start by examining a broad set of crises where the initial triggering act is either nonviolent or violent, to assess whe…
Can Peace Be Marketed? a Preliminary Analysis of Israelis and Palestinians
This study integrates elements of marketing theory, framing research and consumer choice theory to examine the prospects for marketing peace to Israelis and Palestinians. Results of tests of the impact of dimensional and presentational framing and an individual's initial pcacc orientation on support for a settlement are reported. The analyses reveal strong peace dimension effects and moderate presentation and orientation effects on support for a …
Degrees of Difficulty
This article examines the effects of Israeli policy shifts on Syrian decision making regarding resolution of their conflict. An analytic framework developed by Maoz is used to reconstruct the structure of the Syrian decision problems in light of the positions of the Rabin, Peres, and Netanyahu governments. Mintz and Geva's poliheuristic decision model is applied to evaluate the relationship between the “difficulty” of the decision task, the proce…
Clarifying Decisions
This study examines situation versus personality effects on foreign policy decision making. It proposes that while both factors are important in explaining decision outcomes, the relative importance of each in a given circumstance is a function of the structural constraints imposed by the policy decision environment. Following Maoz (1990) and Maoz and Astorino (1992b), a decision-game theoretic framework is used to "reconstruct" policy decision p…
Transforming International Agreements into National Realities
This study takes a marketing perspective to focus on the transformation of an internationally negotiated Jordan-Israel peace accord into a workable domestic reality. Such an approach suggests that promoting domestic support for an international peace initiative involves concern both with the actual attributes of peace and with communicating these to the groups to which they will most appeal. A survey-based experiment tests presentation and dimens…
The Cognitive Structure of Decision Making And The Course of Arab-Israeli Relations, 1970-1978
This study begins with an empirical examination of the structural components of Arab and Israeli decision makers' beliefs about foreign affairs and their effect on regional relations. The results corroborate those of previous studies, which show a systematic positive relationship between the complexity of leaders' cognitions and the cooperativeness of their foreign policy behaviors. The findings also mark the patterns of decision making of each o…
