Conclusion -- $tAppendix: Hypotheses on Power and the Causes of War -- $tIndex 330 $aWhat causes war? How can military conflicts best be prevented? In this book, Stephen Van Evera frames five conditions that increase the risk of interstate war: false optimism about the likely outcome of a war, a first-strike advantage, fluctuation in the relative power of states, circumstances that allow nations to parlay one conquest into another, and circumstances that make conquest easy.According to Van Evera, all but one of these conditions-false optimism-rarely occur today, but policymakers often erroneously believe in their existence. He argues that these misperceptions are responsible for many modern wars, and explores both World Wars, the Korean War, and the 1967 Mideast War as test cases. Finally, he assesses the possibility of nuclear war by applying all five hypotheses to its potential onset. Van Evera's book demonstrates that ideas from the Realist paradigm can offer strong explanations for international conflict and valuable prescriptions for its control. 606 $aWar 606 $aBalance of power 606 $aInternational relations$vCase studies 615 0$aWar. 615 0$aBalance of power. 615 0$aInternational relations 676 $a355.02/7 700 $aVan Evera$b Stephen$01528550 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779676103321 996 $aCauses of war$93772208 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04171nam 2201069Ia 450 001 9910777955103321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a1-282-36050-7 010 $a9786612360503 010 $a0-520-94153-5 024 7 $a10.1525/9780520941533 035 $a(CKB)1000000000766158 035 $a(EBL)470861 035 $a(OCoLC)496961062 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000293542 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11256125 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000293542 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10273689 035 $a(PQKB)11285706 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC470861 035 $a(OCoLC)749133729 035 $a(MdBmJHUP)muse30374 035 $a(DE-B1597)519130 035 $a(DE-B1597)9780520941533 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL470861 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10675766 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL236050 035 $a(dli)HEB08174 035 $a(MiU)MIU01000000000000009642535 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000766158 100 $a20070619d2008 ub 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||#|||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 14$aThe decline of sentiment$b[electronic resource] $eAmerican film in the 1920s /$fLea Jacobs 210 $aBerkeley $cUniversity of California Press$dc2008 215 $a1 online resource (373 p.) 300 $a"Simpson, imprint in humanities." 311 $a0-520-25457-0 311 $a0-520-23701-3 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references (p. 315-326) and index. 320 $aIncludes filmography: p. 327-341. 327 $tFront matter --$tContents --$tPreface --$t1.

Based upon extensive reading of trade papers and the popular press of the day, Lea Jacobs documents the films and film genres that were considered old-fashioned, as well as those dubbed innovative and up-to-date, and looks closely at the works of filmmakers such as Erich von Stroheim, Charlie Chaplin, Ernst Lubitsch, and Monta Bell, among many others. Her analysis-focusing on the influence of literary naturalism on the cinema, the emergence of sophisticated comedy, and the progressive alteration of the male adventure story and the seduction plot-is a comprehensive account of the modernization of classical Hollywood film style and narrative form. 410 0$aACLS Fellows? publications. 606 $aMotion pictures$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aSilent films$zUnited States$xHistory and criticism 606 $aMelodrama in motion pictures 610 $a20th century american film. 610 $aamerican cinema. 610 $aamerican film. 610 $acharlie chaplin. 610 $acomedy. 610 $aerich von stroheim. 610 $aernst lubitsch. 610 $afilm genres. 610 $afilm history. 610 $afilm studies. 610 $afilm style. 610 $afilm. 610 $afilmmakers. 610 $ahistory. 610 $ahollywood. 610 $ajazz age. 610 $aliterary naturalism. 610 $amale adventure story. 610 $amodernization of classical hollywood. 610 $amonta bell. 610 $amovie history. 610 $amovie studies. 610 $amovies. 610 $anarrative form. 610 $aromantic drama. 610 $aseduction plot. 610 $asentimental art. 610 $asentimental films. 610 $asophisticated film. 610 $atrade papers. 615 0$aMotion pictures$xHistory. 615 0$aSilent films$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aMelodrama in motion pictures. 676 $a791.43/75 700 $aJacobs$b Lea$0165930 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910777955103321 996 $aThe decline of sentiment$93805919 997 $aUNINA
