Si vis pacem, para bellum : essays on military preparations and deterrence
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- This dissertation focuses on how military preparations made 'in peace' shape the dynamics of deterrence and the ability to prevent a crisis from occurring. Resolve has received most of the attention in past studies of deterrence, yet military capability and how it is developed has major implications for deterrence as well as peacetime force posture and security assistance through military alliances. I assemble empirical evidence and provide formal theoretical logic that highlight the role of military preparations in deterrence. In doing so, this dissertation contributes to an area of deterrence studies that has been understudied by past scholars and is of immediate relevence to policy-makers confronting problems of interstate tensions and conflict.
