ISBN: 9780847685578 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 362 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Carrots and sticks have always been used in combination in diplomatic affairs, but scholars and policymakers have focused more on the sticks than the carrots. In this provocative study, policy-savvy scholars examine a wide range of cases--from North Korea to South Africa to El Salvador and Bosnia--to demonstrate the power of incentives to deter nuclear proliferation, prevent armed conflict, defend civil and human rights, and rebuild war-torn societies. The book addresses the 'moral hazard' of incentives, the danger that they can be construed as bribes, concessions, or appeasement. Incentives...

Drones and the Future of Armed Conflict: Ethical, Legal, and Strategic Implications
ISBN: 9780226258058 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych.

The potential to direct force with great precision also offers the possibility of reducing harm to civilians. At the same time, because drones eliminate some of the traditional constraints on the use of force like the need to gain political support for full mobilization they lower the threshold for...
