Document Summary
War: the organized use of military force by two or more parties against one another. Intrastate - between two groups in same state. Non-state - between groups that don"t have strong holding in states. At the root lies the values of the states. Territory - number one thing states fight over, becoming less common. Bargaining: actors try to resolve disputes over allocation of a good. Crisis bargaining: interaction in which at least one party has threatened the use of force if demands are unmet. Bargaining under the threat of war is typically called coercive diplomacy. One state seeks to influence the bargaining outcome by threatening to use force either explicitly or implicitly. Deterrent: a threatens b with force to prevent b from doing something - to keep the status quo. Compellent: a threatens b with force to get b to do something to change the status quo.
