Coercive diplomacy is a beguiling, strategy, a subtle mixture of military pressures and diplomatic concessions. It is often erroneously thought to be a low risk strategy which military strong powers can employ to impose their will upon weaker opponents. Actually, however, this strategy can succeed only under special conditions, such as were present in 1962 when President Kennedy induced Khrushchev to remove Soviet missiles from Cuba. When special conditions of urgency, motivation and timing are not present, as in 1965 when President Johnson initiated bombing of North Vietnam, an effort to employ coercive diplomacy may easily lead to ruinous involvement.intervention (international law), diplomacy, united states - foreign relations - 1945-1989, laos, cuba, vietnam

A proponent of the war, Professor Liska here offers an original conceptual perspective for assessing our involvement, based on an imperial obligation for the United States to uphold world order, as distinct from the quest for colonies. His central thesis is simple: like it or not, the power and wealth of the United States force her to have world-wide interest and responsibilities.vietnamese conflict, 1961-1975 -- united states, united states -- foreign relations -- 20th century
