Document Summary

We study ir to gain insight about conflict and cooperation, why states and their leaders make certain choices and how outcomes happen. Material wellbeing, visions, influence, human rights, anti-corruption, politics, etc. Have to think and predict what the other actors will do. Neither saddam hussein nor the us would be pleased with the outcome. Us wanted democratic iraq, pro west dictator & chaos, didn"t want anti-us government. Saddam hussein wanted either stay in power or go into exile, last option: lose a war. In order to get his best option, he had to refuse when the us told him to step down, but at the same time he risked his worst option: war. Interactions: interactions: each actor"s strategy or plan of action depends on the anticipated strategy. Two or more actors adopt policies that make them better off than they were before. Coordination: actors benefit from all making the same choices and subsequently have no incentive to not comply.
