Coercion: The Power to Hurt in International Politics Audiobook (Free)

From the increasing need for non-state actors to the increasing influence of regional power, the type and conduct of international politics has arguably changed dramatically since the height of the Cold War. Yet much of the books on deterrence and compellence continues to draw (whether implicitly or explicitly) upon assumptions and precepts developed in-and predicated upon-politics in a state-centric, bipolar world.

Coercion moves beyond these somewhat hidebound premises and examines the critical problem of coercion in the twenty-first century, with a particular focus on new stars, strategies and objectives with this very previous bargaining game. The chapters with this quantity examine intra-state, inter-state, and transnational coercion and deterrence aswell as both armed service and nonmilitary devices of persuasion, hence expanding our understanding of coercion for issue in the twenty-first century.
