Appeasement is a controversial strategy of conflict management and
resolution in world politics. Its reputation is sullied by foreign
policy failures ending in war or defeat in which the appeasing
state suffers diplomatic and military losses by making costly
concessions to other states. Britain's appeasement policies toward
Germany, Italy, and Japan in the 1930s are perhaps the most
notorious examples of the patterns of failure associated with this
strategy. Is appeasement's reputation deserved or is this strategy
simply misunderstood and perhaps improperly applied? Role theory
offers a general theoretical solution to the appeasement puzzle
that addresses these questions, and the answers should be
interesting to political scientists, historians, students, and
practitioners of cooperation and conflict strategies in world
politics. As a social-psychological theory of human behavior, role
theory has the capacity to unite the insights of various existing
theories of agency and structure in the domain of world politics.
Demonstrating this claim is the methodological aim in this book and
its main contribution to breaking new ground in international
relations theory.
