But past practice indicates it often fails to work - and may increase the risk of war. \u003ci\u003ePsychology and Deterrence\u003c\/i\u003e reveals this stratgy's hidden and generally simplistic assumptions about the nature of power and aggression, threat and response, and calculation and behavior in the international arena.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost current analysis, the authors, note, ignore decisionmakers' emotions, preceptions, and domestic political needs, assuming instead that people repond to crisis in highly rational ways. Examining the historical evidence from a psychological perspective, \u003ci\u003ePsychology and Deterrence\u003c\/i\u003e offers case studies on the origins of World War I, the 1973 Arab-Israeli conflict, and the Falklands Wars as seen by the most important participants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese case studies reveal national leaders to be both more cautious and more reckless than theory would predict. They also show how deterrence strategies often backfire by aggravating a nation's sense of insequrity, thereby calling forth the very behavior they seek to prevent. The authors' conclusions offer important insights for superpower bargaining and nuclear deterrence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"The Johns Hopkins University Press","offers":[{"title":"Psychology and Deterrence | Robert Jervis | Hardcover | 0801832772 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks D 1742195","offer_id":48180037386392,"sku":"1742195","price":57.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/81KQi9Ed40L.jpg?v=1772208126","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/psychology-and-deterrence","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
