Why do states issue ultimatums they expect will be rejected? This book introduces the concept of 'insincere coercion', showing how anticipated – and sometimes intentional – failure can advance foreign policy goals. Drawing on cases from the Falklands, Iraq, and Lebanon, it is essential reading on international security and military strategy.
