Survival and coercion failure -- The United States vs. Iraq : the Gulf and Iraq Wars -- The United States vs. Serbia : Bosnia and Kosovo -- The United States vs. Libya : El Dorado Canyon, Pan Am flight 103, and WMD.

Summary: In asymmetric interstate conflicts, great powers have the capability to coerce weak states by threatening their survival-but not vice versa. It is therefore the great power that decides whether to escalate a conflict into a crisis by adopting a coercive strategy. In practice, however, the coercive strategies of the US have frequently failed. In this volume, Phil Haun chronicles 30 asymmetric interstate crises involving the US from 1918 to 2003.
