How Wars End - Negotiations, Coercion & War Termination Theory (2023x27)

Fecha de emisión: Jul 09, 2023

We spend a lot of time on this channel focusing on how nations prepare for and fight wars - and comparatively little on the thinking that goes into bringing about their end - negotiated or otherwise. In this episode I take a bit of a break to talk about the theory behind deciding when and how nations might chose to end a war, the various ways in which they might chose to do it - and all the reasons that pure rationality is a pretty imperfect framework for predicting the behaviour of nations. Apologies for the late release, and I hope you all enjoy.
