Summary: Cases in Bosnia, Haiti, Iraq, Taiwan, North Korea & more
Review: Collaboratively compiled and edited by Robert J. Art (Professor of International Relations, Brandeis University) and Patrick M. Cronin (Assistant Administrator, U.S. Agency for International Development), The United States And Coercive Diplomacy is a collection of learned essays by a variety of authors, each of whom look at American "coercive diplomacy", that is, the striving to change the behavior of a state or group through the threat of, or limited use of, military force. Studying cases in Bosnia, Haiti, Iraq, Taiwan, North Korea, and others, The United States And Coercive Diplomacy affords a series of perceptive views of this trend in American international relations and what it means for the present and future. The United States And Coercive Diplomacy is a welcome and highly recommended contribution to International Studies reading lists and reference collections.
