Document Summary
Grit(gradual reduction in tension): an approach made by charles osgood to de-escalate tensions by giving a concession on the other side and in return expecting some equal response, leading to a peace spiral. Arms control: refers to treaties made between potential adversaries that reduce the likelihood and scope of war, usually imposing limitations on military capability. Arms control does not always involves the reduction of military forces or weapons, in fact, arms control agreements sometimes allow for the increase of weapons by one or more parties to a treaty. Peacebuilding: peacebuilding is designed to build confidence among the parties, facilitate institutional reform, demobilize armies, and assist the reform and integration of police forces and judiciaries, being facilitators rather than occupiers. Peacekeeping, weak and strong: to facilitate the transition from state of conflict to a state of peace; this has earned it the appellation a halfway house between peace and war.
