'Perhaps without you, our revolution would not be." 330 $aTwo of the most pressing questions facing international historians today are how and why the Cold War ended. Human Rights Activism and the End of the Cold War explores how, in the aftermath of the signing of the Helsinki Final Act in 1975, a transnational network of activists committed to human rights in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe made the topic a central element in East-West diplomacy. As a result, human rights eventually became an important element of Cold War diplomacy and a central component of de?tente. Sarah B. Snyder demonstrates how this network influenced both Western and Eastern governments to pursue policies that fostered the rise of organized dissent in Eastern Europe, freedom of movement for East Germans and improved human rights practices in the Soviet Union - all factors in the end of the Cold War. 410 0$aHuman rights in history. 517 3 $aHuman Rights Activism & the End of the Cold War 606 $aHuman rights 606 $aHuman rights advocacy 606 $aCold War 615 0$aHuman rights. 615 0$aHuman rights advocacy. 615 0$aCold War. 676 $a323.09/047 700 $aSnyder$b Sarah B.$f1977-$01040914 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910464729203321 996 $aHuman rights activism and the end of the Cold War$92464134 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04204nam 2200661Ia 450 001 9910960150803321 005 20251117065747.0 010 $a1-136-73759-6 010 $a1-283-10337-0 010 $a9786613103376 010 $a1-136-73760-X 010 $a0-203-81864-4 024 7 $a10.4324/9780203818640 035 $a(CKB)2670000000090993 035 $a(EBL)672398 035 $a(OCoLC)721907181 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000543773 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11334700 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000543773 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10534257 035 $a(PQKB)11424677 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC672398 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL672398 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10533787 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL310337 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000090993 100 $a20101019d2011 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aGame theory in the social sciences $ea reader-friendly guide /$fLuca Lambertini 205 $a1st ed. 210 $aAbingdon, Oxon ;$aNew York $cRoutledge$d2011 215 $a1 online resource (209 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 08$a0-415-66483-7 311 08$a0-415-59111-2 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aGame Theory in the Social Sciences: A reader-friendly guide; Copyright; Contents; List of figures; Preface; 1 The origins: a bit of history; 1.1 Giant steps; 1.2 Hidden truths?; 2 What is a game?; 2.1 The structure of a game; 2.2 A brief taxonomy of games; 2.3 Alternative representations; 3 Solving a game; 3.1 The maximin (or minimax) equilibrium; 3.2 Refinements of the Nash equilibrium; 3.3 Warnings; 3.4 Risk dominance; 3.5 Nash equilibrium in mixed strategies; 3.6 Appendix: Schro?dinger's paradox; 4 Understanding economics; 4.1 Industrial economics; 4.2 Monetary and fiscal policies 327 $a4.3 Natural resources and the environment5 Repeated games and collusivebehaviour; 5.1 The prisoners' dilemma revisited; 5.2 Time and time discounting; 5.3 Finite or infinite horizon?; 5.4 The folk theorems; 5.5 The chain store paradox; 6 Understanding politics; 6.1 Voting paradoxes; 6.2 A spatial model of political competition; 6.3 The robustness of the median voter theorem; 6.4 Electoral campaigns; 6.5 How about being re-elected?; 7 Wargames; 7.1 The battle of the Bismarck Sea; 7.2 Overlord; 7.3 Escalation as an all-pay auction; 7.4 Mutually assured destruction and the Cuban missile crisis 327 $a7.5 The Euromissiles crisis7.6 Hawks, doves and Star Wars; 8 Trade, security and hegemony; 8.1 International cooperation and free trade; 8.2 Guns versus butter and the trade-off betweenopenness and security; 8.3 The persistence of unipolarism; 8.4 Appendix: the game between satellites; 9 The role of information; 9.1 Asymmetric information; 9.2 Incomplete information; 9.3 Forward induction; 9.4 Appendix: Bayes' rule; 10 Bargaining and cooperation; 10.1 Bargaining games: the axiomatic approach; 10.2 Cooperative games: a matter of coalitions; 10.3 Examples; Notes; Bibliography; Index 330 $aIndividuals, firms, governments and nations behave strategically, for good and bad. Over the last few decades, game theory has been constructed and progressively refined to become the major tool used by social scientists to understand, predict and regulate strategic interaction among agents who often have conflicting interests. In the surprisingly anodyne jargon of the theory, they 'play games'. This book offers an introduction to the basic tools of game theory and an overview of a number of applications to real-world cases, covering the areas of economics, politics and international relati 606 $aGame theory 606 $aSocial sciences$xMethodology 615 0$aGame theory. 615 0$aSocial sciences$xMethodology. 676 $a300.1/5193 676 $a300.15193 700 $aLambertini$b Luca$081232 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910960150803321 996 $aGame theory in the social sciences$94493560 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03020nam 2200613Ia 450 001 9910967594903321 005 20251116173245.0 010 $a1-135-76707-6 010 $a1-135-76708-4 010 $a1-280-06380-7 010 $a0-203-33921-5 024 7 $a10.4324/9780203339213 035 $a(CKB)1000000000254031 035 $a(EBL)199707 035 $a(OCoLC)85895316 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000310494 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11254162 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000310494 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10289607 035 $a(PQKB)11112402 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL199707 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10094707 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL6380 035 $a(OCoLC)958104084 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC199707 035 $a(PPN)198452616 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000254031 100 $a20040415d2005 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aStrategy and politics in the Middle East, 1954-1960 $edefending the northern tier /$fMichael J.

Its focus switched from Egypt to the states of the so-called northern tier of the Middle East: Turkey, Iraq, Iran and Pakistan. This book reveals the extent to which the UK clung on to great-power pretensions and used bluff, even deception, in order to give the impression that it disposed of greater military resources than was in fact the case. It describes not only Anglo-American tensions in the Middle East, but also the Americans' reluctance to take over Britain's former hegemony in the reg 607 $aMiddle East$xHistory$y1945-1979 607 $aMiddle East$xPolitics and government$y1945-1979 676 $a320.956/09/045 676 $a320.95609045 686 $a15.75$2bcl 700 $aCohen$b Michael Joseph$f1940-$01379468 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910967594903321 996 $aStrategy and politics in the Middle East, 1954-1960$94497623 997 $aUNINA
