As the preponderant world power, the United States is a potential
arbiter of war and peace between such feuding rivals as India and
Pakistan, Turkey and Greece, China and Taiwan. How can it deter
them from going to war and impel them to accept compromise without
firmly choosing sides? This age-old strategic dilemma, which
Timothy W. Crawford calls "pivotal deterrence," has become a
central challenge of international security in today's unipolar
world.Crawford explains the political dynamics of pivotal
deterrence and the conditions under which it is likely to succeed,
while examining some of its most impressive feats and failures.
German Chancellor Otto von Bismarck's agile approach to the 1870s
Eastern Crisis, which prevented war between Russia and
Austria-Hungary, is contrasted with Britain's ambiguous and
ill-fated maneuvers to deter Germany and France in July 1914.
Shifting to the 1960s Cold War, Crawford explores the successes and
setbacks in U.S. efforts to prevent NATO allies Greece and Turkey
from fighting over Cyprus and to defuse the Kashmir conflict
between India and Pakistan. Capping the analysis is a rich look at
similar U.S. efforts in the 1990s in South Asia, the Aegean, the
Balkans, and East Asia. Crawford concludes with an assessment of
the prospects for American pivotal deterrence in the years ahead
and its implications for international relations theory.
