Conventional wisdom dictates that the conditions of international politics require states to pursue "tough" strategies based on threats, ruling out "soft" strategies such as reassurances or appeasement. In Threats and Promises, James W. Davis, Jr., works toward a theory of influence in international politics that recognizes the power of promises and assurances as tools of statecraft. Davis offers an analytic treatment of promises and assurances, drawing on relevant strands of international relations theory and deterrence theory, as well as cognitive and social psychology. Building on prospect theory (from cognitive psychology), he develops a testable theory of influence that suggests promises are most effective when potential aggressors are motivated by a desire to avoid loss. Davis then considers a series of case studies drawn principally from German diplomatic relations in the later nineteenth and early twentieth century. From the case studies—which focus on such issues as European stability, colonial competition, and the outbreak of the First World War—Davis shows how a blending of threats and promises according to reasoned principles can lead to a new system of more creative statecraft. While many critical analyses exist on the use of threats, there are relatively few on the use of promises. Davis argues that promises have been central to outcomes that were previously attributed to the successful use of deterrent threats, as well as the resolution of many crises where threats failed to deter aggression. Threats and Promises challenges the conventional wisdom and is an original contribution to the field of international politics.

This book is aimed both at readers with an interest in Promise Theory, who may find here a useful case study, and who may contemplate the development of similar applications in other areas, and at readers who are primarily interested in the political science of nuclear deterrence. The latter readers may then come to an assessment about the usability of Promise Theory as a tool for further work.

She has a new look, a new man, and a past that's not her own. The New York Times-bestselling author delivers a chilling romantic thriller. After her estranged brother dies, Lauren Stevenson inherits his substantial legacy, allowing her to finally fix a medical condition that's plagued her all her life. The results of the plastic surgery are nothing less than astounding. In the mirror, Lauren sees a whole new person. But that's just the beginning. The shop Lauren has opened in Boston with her best friend is an instant success, and she's even bought a farmhouse that she can't wait to renovate. The only thing missing in her life is romance--until Matt Kruger shows up outside of her shop. A friend of her late brother, Matt is in town on business. The rugged builder is everything Lauren has ever dreamed about, and they embark on a whirlwind romance. Only, strange things begin happening to Lauren--a garage door misses her by inches, a vicious dog appears out of nowhere, and things in the house seem to have been moved. With danger appearing around every corner, Lauren is convinced she's being stalked. Driven by vengeance, someone has set their sights on Lauren--or who they think she is--and they're getting closer and closer . . . Praise for Barbara Delinsky "One of today's quintessential authors of contemporary fiction . . . Delinsky is a joy to read . . . Women's fiction at its very finest." --Romantic Times "[An author] of sensitivity and style." --Publishers Weekly "Delinsky is truly an author for all seasons." --Rave Reviews

Global environmental concerns have increased the sensitivity of governments and other parties to the actions of those outside their national jurisdiction. Parties have tried to extend influence extraterritorially both by promising to reward desired behavior and by threatening to punish undesired behavior. If information were perfect, the Coase theorem would suggest that either method of seeking influence could provide an efficient outcome. If the parties in question have incomplete information about each other's costs and benefits from different actions, however, either method can be costly, both to those seeking influence and in terms of overall efficiency. We compare various methods of seeking influence. A particular issue is dissembling: taking an action to mislead the other party about the cost or benefit of that action. By creating an incentive to dissemble, attempts to influence another's behavior can have the perverse effect of actually encouraging the action that one is trying to discourage

Part coming-of-age novel, part ghost story, part psychological thriller - a powerful novel of adolescent friendship, betrayal and murder Kate Cypher has returned home to Vermont, after a telephone call from friends who are worried about her mother's failing health. On the night she arrives, a young girl is murdered, a horrific crime that eerily mirrors another from Kate's childhood. Three decades earlier, her misfit friend Del, shunned and derided by her classmates as "the potato girl", was brutally slain. Del's killer was never found, and Del achieved immortality in local legends and ghost stories. Now, as the new murder investigation draws Kate irresistibly in, her past and present collide in terrifying and unexpected ways. But nothing is quite what it seems - and the grim spectres of her childhood are far from forgotten.
