The Outcome: Assessing the Rivalry De- escalation Theory --Appendix --Notes --References --IndexRivalry between nations has a long and sometimes bloody history. Not all political opposition culminates in war-the rivalry between the United States and the Soviet Union is one example-but in most cases competition between nations and peoples for resources and strategic advantage does lead to violence: nearly 80 percent of the wars fought since 1816 were sparked by contention between rival nations. Long-term discord is a global concern, since competing states may drag allies into their conflict or threaten to use weapons of mass destruction. How Rivalries End is a study of how such rivalries take root and flourish and particularly how some dissipate over time without recourse to war.Political scientists Karen Rasler, William R. Thompson, and Sumit Ganguly examine ten political hot spots, stretching from Egypt and Israel to the two Korea's, where crises and military confrontations have occurred over the last seven decades. Through exacting analysis of thirty-two attempts to deescalate strategic rivalries, they reveal a pattern in successful conflict resolutions: shocks that overcome foreign policy inertia; changes in perceptions of the adversary's competitiveness or threat; positive responses to conciliatory signals; and continuing effort to avoid conflict after hostilities cease. How Rivalries End significantly contributes to our understanding why protracted conflicts sometimes deescalate and even terminate without resort to war.Strategic rivalries (World politics)Case studiesPacific settlement of international disputesCase studiesEscalation (Military science)Case studiesElectronic books.Strategic rivalries (World politics)Pacific settlement of international disputesEscalation (Military science)327.1/72Rasler Karen A.1952-949988Thompson William R141765Ganguly Sumit598193MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910463518603321How rivalries end2485423UNINA04160oam 2200685I 450 991045042320332120210830192705.00-415-30009-60-203-40189-11-280-07326-81-134-42172-910.4324/9780203401897(CKB)1000000000238440(StDuBDS)AH3708172(SSID)ssj0000376058(PQKBManifestationID)12117640(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000376058(PQKBWorkID)10328853(PQKB)11116777(SSID)ssj0000294434(PQKBManifestationID)11193646(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000294434(PQKBWorkID)10311956(PQKB)11343776(MiAaPQ)EBC178885(Au-PeEL)EBL178885(CaPaEBR)ebr10097361(CaONFJC)MIL7326(OCoLC)54491379(EXLCZ)99100000000023844020180331d2003 uy 0engur|||||||||||txtccrThe dynamics of delight architecture and aesthetics /Peter F.

The Ethical DimensionThis work rounds off decades of exploration into the various ways that buildings and urban sequences make an impact on the mind.Rounding off decades of exploration into the various ways in which buildings and urban sequences make an impact on the mind, The Dynamics of Delight emphasizes the qualitative aspects of form and space, providing designers with an analytical framework in which to evaluate projects on an aesthetic level. In laying the foundations for an appreciation of the aesthetic component in architecture, Smith considers the mechanisms which are involved in the aesthetic response and goes on to consider how human perception may be influenced by natural phenomena and draws on chaos theory and biomathematics to illustrate this original argument.
