State Coherence and Expansion in the Age of Mass Politics -- $tNotes -- $tBibliography -- $tIndex 330 $aWhy have states throughout history regularly underestimated dangers to their survival? Why have some states been able to mobilize their material resources effectively to balance against threats, while others have not been able to do so? The phenomenon of "underbalancing" is a common but woefully underexamined behavior in international politics. Underbalancing occurs when states fail to recognize dangerous threats, choose not to react to them, or respond in paltry and imprudent ways. It is a response that directly contradicts the core prediction of structural realism's balance-of-power theory--that states motivated to survive as autonomous entities are coherent actors that, when confronted by dangerous threats, act to restore the disrupted balance by creating alliances or increasing their military capabilities, or, in some cases, a combination of both. Consistent with the new wave of neoclassical realist research, Unanswered Threats offers a theory of underbalancing based on four domestic-level variables--elite consensus, elite cohesion, social cohesion, and regime/government vulnerability--that channel, mediate, and redirect policy responses to external pressures and incentives. The theory yields five causal schemes for underbalancing behavior, which are tested against the cases of interwar Britain and France, France from 1877 to 1913, and the War of the Triple Alliance (1864-1870) that pitted tiny Paraguay against Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay. Randall Schweller concludes that those most likely to underbalance are incoherent, fragmented states whose elites are constrained by political considerations. 410 0$aPrinceton studies in international history and politics. 606 $aBalance of power$xHistory 606 $aBalance of power$vCase studies 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aBalance of power$xHistory. 615 0$aBalance of power 676 $a327.1/12 700 $aSchweller$b Randall L$0969375 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910458712403321 996 $aUnanswered threats$92474990 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01572nam 2200409Ia 450 001 996397434403316 005 20200824132029.0 035 $a(CKB)4940000000061618 035 $a(EEBO)2240906265 035 $a(OCoLC)ocm33150434e 035 $a(OCoLC)33150434 035 $a(EXLCZ)994940000000061618 100 $a19950918d1621 uy | 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurbn||||a|bb| 200 10$aBy the king$b[electronic resource] $ea proclamation declaring His Maiesties grace to his subiects, touching matters complained of, as publique greeuances 210 $aImprinted at London $cBy Bonham Norton and Iohn Bill, Printers to the Kings most Excellent Maiestie$dM.DC.XXI [1621] 215 $a4 leaves 300 $aCaption title. 300 $aImprint from colophon. 300 $a"Giuen at Our Court at Whitehall, the tenth day of Iuly, in the nineteenth of Our Reigne of Great Britaine, France and Ireland." 300 $aReproduction of original in: Society of Antiquaries. 330 $aeebo-0147 606 $aJustice, Administration of$zGreat Britain$vEarly works to 1800 606 $aMonopolies$zGreat Britain$vEarly works to 1800 607 $aGreat Britain$xHistory$yJames I, 1603-1625 607 $aGreat Britain$xCommerce$vEarly works to 1800 615 0$aJustice, Administration of 615 0$aMonopolies 701 $aJames$cKing of England,$f1566-1625.$01001019 801 0$bEBK 801 1$bEBK 801 2$bWaOLN 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996397434403316 996 $aBy the King$92299281 997 $aUNISA LEADER 01719nam 2200553 a 450 001 9910785171003321 005 20171026195700.0 010 $a1-282-63921-8 010 $a9786612639210 010 $a0-472-02694-1 024 7 $a10.3998/mpub.16804 035 $a(CKB)2670000000040633 035 $a(OCoLC)651657327 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebrary10395632 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000417931 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11288464 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000417931 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10380242 035 $a(PQKB)10191666 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3414892 035 $a(MdBmJHUP)muse9727 035 $a(MiU)10.3998/mpub.16804 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL3414892 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10395632 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL263921 035 $a(OCoLC)743201141 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000040633 100 $a20000308d2000 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcn||||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aForeign policy and Congress $ean international relations perspective /$fMarie T.
