In this landmark study, Stephen Rock seeks to restore appeasement to its proper place as a legitimate--and potentially successful--diplomatic strategy. Appeasement was discredited by Neville Chamberlain's disastrous attempt to satisfy Adolf Hitler's territorial ambitions and avoid war in 1938. Rock argues, however, that there is very little evidence to support the belief that dissatisfied states and their leaders cannot be appeased or that appeasement undermines a state's credibility in later attemptsDiplomacyDetenteInternational relationsDeterrence (Strategy)Diplomacy.Detente.International relations.Deterrence (Strategy)327.1/1Rock Stephen R.1492936MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910787471103321Appeasement in international politics3715717UNINA
