Why do some leaders and segments of the public display remarkable
persistence in confrontations in international politics, while
others cut and run? The answer given by policymakers, pundits, and
political scientists usually relates to issues of resolve. Yet,
though we rely on resolve to explain almost every phenomenon in
international politics--from prevailing at the bargaining table to
winning on the battlefield--we don't understand what it is, how it
works, or where it comes from. Resolve in International Politics
draws on a growing body of research in psychology and behavioral
economics to explore the foundations of this important idea. Joshua
Kertzer argues that political will is more than just a metaphor or
figure of speech: the same traits social scientists and
decision-making scholars use to comprehend willpower in our daily
lives also shape how we respond to the costs of war and conflict.
Combining laboratory and survey experiments with studies of great
power military interventions in the postwar era from 1946 to 2003,
Kertzer shows how time and risk preferences, honor orientation, and
self-control help explain the ways leaders and members of the
public define the situations they face and weigh the trade-offs
between the costs of fighting and the costs of backing down.
Offering a novel in-depth look at how willpower functions in
international relations, Resolve in International Politics has
critical implications for understanding political psychology,
public opinion about foreign policy, leaders in military
interventions, and international security.
