Brokered Bargaining
Brokered Bargaining
Implications for Theory and Practice
This chapter reflects on the theoretical and practical implications of the book. It highlights the work’s contribution to the otherwise undertheorized role of third parties in preventing war, its fresh perspectives on the optimism-pessimism debate on nuclear deterrence, and its attention to scholarship on nonnuclear subjects, primarily mediation, unipolarity theory, and sociological literature on “evaluation” by external audiences. The discussion highlights policy recommendations for decision makers in the United States, other third-party states, India, Pakistan, and other potential regional nuclear rivals. It stresses the need for a holistic U.S. policy approach to crises between regional nuclear powers.
Keywords: brokered bargaining, third-party roles, mediation, bilateral nuclear deterrence, unipolarity theory, crisis prevention, crisis management, India, Pakistan, United States
