From the rising significance of non-state actors to the increasing
influence of regional powers, the nature and conduct of
international politics has arguably changed dramatically since the
height of the Cold War. Yet much of the literature on deterrence
and compellence continues to draw (whether implicitly or
explicitly) upon assumptions and precepts formulated in-and
predicated upon-politics in a state-centric, bipolar world.
Coercion moves beyond these somewhat hidebound premises and
examines the critical issue of coercion in the 21st century, with a
particular focus on new actors, strategies and objectives in this
very old bargaining game. The chapters in this volume examine
intra-state, inter-state, and transnational coercion and deterrence
as well as both military and non-military instruments of
persuasion, thus expanding our understanding of coercion for
conflict in the 21st century. ? Scholars have analyzed the causes,
dynamics, and effects of coercion for decades, but previous works
have principally focused on a single state employing conventional
military means to pressure another state to alter its behavior. In
contrast, this volume captures fresh developments, both theoretical
and policy relevant. This chapters in this volume focus on tools
(terrorism, sanctions, drones, cyber warfare, intelligence, and
forced migration), actors (insurgents, social movements, and NGOs)
and mechanisms (trilateral coercion, diplomatic and economic
isolation, foreign-imposed regime change, coercion of nuclear
proliferators, and two-level games) that have become more prominent
in recent years, but which have yet to be extensively or
systematically addressed in either academic or policy literatures.
