As Pauly explains to Dan Richards on this episode of “Trending Globally”:
“The history of coercive bargaining, coercive diplomacy is really a litany of mostly failures.”
This is a problem not only for countries seeking to coerce others, whether it’s through tariffs, sanctions, or threats of military action. It’s also a problem because when coercion fails, countries usually find themselves one step closer to war.
