The Use and Utility of Ultimata in Coercive Diplomacy Hardback
by Tim Sweijs
Part of the Twenty-first Century Perspectives on War, Peace, and Human Conflict series
Hardback
Description
Ultimata feature as a core concept in the coercive diplomacy scholarship.
Conventional wisdom holds that pursuing an ultimatum strategy is risky.
This book shows that the conventional wisdom is wrong on the basis of a new dataset of 87 ultimata issued from 1920–2020.
It provides a historical examination of ultimata in Western strategic, political, and legal thought since antiquity until the present, and offers a four-pronged typology that explains their various purposes and effects: 1) the dictate, 2) the conditional war declaration, 3) the bluff, and 4) the brinkmanship ultimatum.
The book yields a better understanding of interstate threat behaviour at a time of surging competition.
