Tacit Bargaining, Arms Races, and Arms Control
Examines techniques and strategies of tacit bargaining in attempts to slow or halt arms races and maintain arms agreements
Description
When most people, including social scientists, reflect on the ways that nations resolve their differences, they tend to think in terms of polar alternatives: war versus negotiation. This perspective ignores a third path: tacit bargaining, which is applicable, as this book shows, to a wide variety of international issues and is especially germane to the problem of treaty maintenance.
