The not so gray zone in South Asia
India’s recent military responses to terrorist attacks, indicate a new phase in the “ugly stability” of nuclear South Asia.

In recent years it appears that India will no longer only rely on gray zone approaches in respon…
When Governments Collide in the South Atlantic
How effective are parliamentary democracies at sending coercive signals and orchestrating them into coherent messages? Are parliamentary democracies any better at doing this than presidential democracies? In order to answer these questions, the research project uses an in-depth analysis of the 1982 Falklands/Malvinas War as a case study. This article seeks to determine how effective the United Kingdom was at sending coercive signals and orchestra…
When Governments Collide in the Taiwan Strait
Are authoritarian states better at coercion than democracies? The latter frequently find it difficult to make credible and persuasive threats; orchestrate words and deeds; and signal by deed as well as by word.

This paper examines the 1995-96 Taiwan Strait crisis, in which the Peo…

He argues that only denial/interdiction strategies—those that disrupt the enemy's military strategy—will be able to coerce states. This review essay examines the majority of Pape's writings …
