Developing State Coalition-Building: A Focused Comparison
This article pits two diplomatic strategies in competition for policy officials’ support. Distributive strategies promote one party’s goals at the expense of another. Integrative strategies promote goals that are in conflict with those of another state. The focus is strategy choice and strategy’s bargaining potential of less developed countries ( LDC ) coalitions in the GATT / WTO regime. Amrita Narlikar, whose study of LDC coalitions is relied u…
Going for Broke” on Palestine
This article, a corrective to long-time frustration experienced by the United States in mediating Israel-Palestine differences, argues for American recognition of a Palestinian state to reach a two-state solution. Recognition, though not even-handed, constitutes legitimate mediation, as confronting one or another primary antagonist can be a useful mediation strategy. Though Israel is likely to object to us recognition of Palestine, analysis sugge…
Bargaining in asymmetric crisis
Diplomacy, defined as formal communication and bargaining between states, is subject to limits that diplomatic theory must demarcate and understand. This article compares state incentives and disincentives (including rejection of negotiation as well as refusal to concede) affecting the decision whether to negotiate in six cases of interstate crisis between militarily unequal antagonists. While it has been argued that asymmetric powers are more li…

What Use Overwhelming Air Superiority? A Tale of Two Campaigns
Longer wars between mismatched opponents often end with the militarily weaker side showing unexpected strengths. This article tests this tendency in two short wars in which overwhelming force superiority was applied in massive air attacks. Operation Enduring Freedom (the 2001 American campaign in Afghanistan) and Operation Cast Lead (the 2008–2009 Israeli campaign in Gaza) both began with air offensives that shifted to air-supported ground combat…
To Arms Control or Not: Lessons of Focused Case Comparisons
Arms races, in which competitors attempt to improve their military power in relation to each other, vary in the competitors’ propensity to diplomatically seek arms restraint. To assist empirical understanding of the incidence of arms restraint, this essay compares the Soviet-American nuclear arms competition in which such restraint was ample and long-standing, with a 19th-century Anglo-French naval competition in which arms diplomacy was complete…
Diplomatic Mediation as an Independent Variable
Successful third-party diplomatic mediation illustrates diplomacy as a causative, independent element in world politics. This article asks how mediators forge agreement between force-prone, deadlocked parties in intractable diplomatic conflict, and why some such conflicts are more difficult to mediate than others. It compares three interstate and three intrastate mediation cases, each probed as a deviant episode, and tests the conventional view t…

Diplomacy and international theory
Diplomacy has long been neglected as a preoccupation of international theory. To repair this deficiency, this essay focuses upon bargaining over interstate disputes and makes two distinctions. One is between diplomacy as independent and as dependent variable. Analysis of diplomacy as independent variable studies diplomatic practice as causal influence, as when overcoming pressures that increase the danger of war or deadlock. This perspective is i…

Preventive diplomacy in historical perspective
The perils and difficulties of recent great power efforts to defuse and contain small power disputes have been much remarked upon. This paper justifies and operationalizes comparative investigation of eight nineteenth‐ and twentieth‐century preventive diplomacy cases directed to small power ethnic conflict, to document the interplay between such conflict and great power behaviour under a variety of conditions. The purpose is to seek differentiate…

Policy Organization in American Security Affairs: An Assessment
National security policy, like all foreign policy, is a matter of reconciling necessary behaviors with resources that are available to support them. This article is about one kind of resource to support national security objectives: the policy organization of states, which defines what national objectives are necessary, distinguishes alternative uses of capabilities to attain them, decides among these alternatives, and then implements the actions…
