Generating Hypotheses
from Part 1 - Background and Theory
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 05 June 2012
Opponents of intervention possess a list of tactics that can be employed in responding to the strategy of the intervener. This list, comprising what I have termed the specific dependent variable, formed the lower left box in Figure 1.1 and is reprinted here:
Use of Deadly Violence: (A) discriminate vs. indiscriminate violence; (B) specific choice of target; (C) level of violence; (D) deadly riots.
Nondeadly Violence: (A) bombing without killing; (B) desecration; (C) threats; (D) nondeadly riots.
Withdrawal from Political Engagement: (A) boycotts; (B) creation of a parallel system.
Nonviolent Engagement: (A) parades/demonstrations; (B) posters/speeches.
Acquiescence.
A basic goal of this book is to explain why and when political opponents of intervention choose one of these tactics rather than another. This chapter combines elements from the previous chapters to help provide this explanation. Furthermore, using knowledge of emotions, the chapter generates predictions about the use of these tactics.
