Name and describe/define two of the four uses of force outlined by Robert J. Art. Give a historical example of each and explain why it constitutes an example of that phenomenon.
Deterrence- when a state will threaten other actors if they don’t comply with the state's demands or do something the state doesn’t like. In the case of the cold war, the United States was clear that if Russia used missiles to threaten other countries in Europe, then it would retaliate with its missiles.
Swaggering- in this use of force, a state will build up its military and do demonstrations/practices to show other states their prestige and power, which could benefit them in deterrence, compellence and defense. In the case of North Korea, they are trying to prove
Deterrence is what keeps people from doing harm to others and it is the act of discouraging an action through instilling fear of the potential consequences. What this means is that the cost of the crime can outweigh the benefits. An example of how the cost can outweigh the benefits is when Anderson used the example of the doctor shooting at the intruder in his home. Anderson stated in the book, “He came down with his gun and in the darkness announced, “I have a gun.”. The rumbling continued, so he fired, killing the intruder in his kitchen with a bullet to the back of his head.”
Deterrence theory is founded upon two types, general and specific. The idea behind deterrence is to make the sanction so abhorrent that it will deter the individual and society as a whole, although it should be stated that deterrence could be
Since the invention of nuclear weapons, they have presented the world with a significant danger, one that was shown in reality during the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. However, nuclear weapons have not only served in combat, but they have also played a role in keeping the world peaceful by the concept of deterrence. The usage of nuclear weapons would lead to mutual destruction and during the Cold War, nuclear weapons were necessary to maintain international security, as a means of deterrence. However, by the end of the Cold War, reliance on nuclear weapons for maintaining peace became increasingly difficult and less effective (Shultz, et. al, 2007). The development of technology has also provided increasing opportunities for states
In the book, Futter mentioned three different types of nuclear deterrence. There was minimum nuclear deterrence, limited nuclear deterrence, and maximum nuclear deterrence. Minimum nuclear deterrence involves a small number of nuclear weapons that a state has. It also may involve a no first strike commitment as a nuclear philosophy. The limited nuclear deterrence is the same as the minimum, but with a difference that the warheads maybe used on wider range threats/ targets. Maximum nuclear deterrence is where all options are on the table. The warheads can be used quickly, and there is a great number of nuclear warheads available to the state.
Whenever a law enforcement officer places an individual under arrest or is involved in a deadly force scenario the officer has used some degree of force. The incidents where an office has to make a split second decision and use physical force to control a situation is known as “Use of Force.” The use of force varies as situations present themselves to the officer and they must decide what level of force is necessary to control the situation. Often the use of force is subject to much debate and not a year goes by without some media coverage of some law enforcement officer accused of using excessive force. In dozens of studies of police use of force there is no single,
Utilized as a means to create chaos, the four force multipliers utilized by terrorist groups are transnational support, technology, media coverage and religion. “Force multipliers enhance destructive power, whereas innovation is used to achieve shock and surprise” (White, 2017, p. 103). Derived as a military term, force multipliers enable terrorist groups to exploit conventional warfare and create terror by increase their striking power without having to increase their manpower or weaponry. “It is these who cause divisions, worldly people, devoid of the Spirit” (Jude 1:19, English Standard Version). Therefore, force multipliers create a well-orchestrated illusion that makes adversaries belief a terrorist group can fight with higher levels
To discuss about the conclusion of the Dodge’s case study, I think I should explain the concept of brinkmanship first. As we know, Brinkmanship is deliberately put crisis to the brink of disaster. At some point of using brinkmanship, will be able to increase the players ' negotiating leverage - -participants. For example, the struggle between National political and military, if a long-term military confrontation between the two countries, both sides have nuclear weapons, the weaker side in order to avoid a conventional war can be used to launch nuclear weapons to threat another one which side is stronger. However, this threat may be considered to be incredibly for strong side. The question is coming that how it can threaten by one of the weak side becomes confidence and let stronger side believe in weak side? Perhaps the country 's leader can devolve control of nuclear weapons - nuclear weapons are arranged at the border, targeting the enemy and by a general to grasp the nuclear button. This seems to be more dangerous, but in fact may produce a real strong deterrent. Once the outbreaks of war in the border, despite the weak leaders do not want to start nuclear button, finally the general who faced death may also start nuclear button to meet them death together. This is most famous case in history happened in the Cold War of Cuban Missile Crisis. I will pay attention to this case in the following paragraph.
Deterrence theory has many ideas as to what constitute deterrence. Some researchers think that it is the main purposes of our criminal justice system. They do agree that it is the main goal when it comes down to discouraging society from committing criminal deeds. Because, of fear of punishment for committing a crime. Some researcher would have you believe that the most powerful deterrent we have is our criminal justice system, because they are the ones that will make sure that violators will be punish swiftly if they break the law. Well, “this is unrealistic to believe that any criminal justice system could ever accomplish this goal, no matter how many law enforcement resources were dedicated to achieving it” (“Deterrence”, n.d.).
The Deterrence Theory was first introduced by theorist Thomas Hobbes who was then followed up on the theory by Cesare Beccaria, and Jeremy Bentham who later added a more modern, updated version of the theory. This theory first came about during the military when the men that were being introduced to nuclear weapons that could cause massive destructive damage when it was put to use. The Deterrence Theory then came into play when it was time for a person to take up for their actions that person has caused and, being able to pay the price at hand for what they have done without being able to put the blame on another person or get away with it without being sure that you would also get the proper punishment. The reason why this theory has more than one theorist is due to “ once one looks in detail at cases of international conflict, it becomes apparent that the
Playing safe, stereotypes, crowd mentality. These words have existed and moreover ruled over our lives for so many years that imagining our life without them seems impossible. Only the people brave enough to not expect anything in return and having the will to let go control-based life can achieve interbeingness. A person in love expects love in return and a favor for a favorlended. Vulnerability comes hand-in-hand with interbeingness. The fear of what-if keeps people from believing in themselves as well as others. Playing safe becomes the way of life. Nothing new is accepted until the older way stops working. It is innately present in all of us.
-It aims at mutual security between partners and overall stability (be it in a crisis situation, a grand-strategy, or stability to put an end to an arms race).
In 1945, a great technological innovation was dropped over Japan, the atomic bomb. Ever since the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the world has faced the threat of nuclear attack. In reaction to this, world governments have been forced to find a defense against nuclear attack. One solution to the danger of nuclear attack is the use of nuclear deterrence. Nuclear deterrence is the possession and launching of nuclear weapons for the sole purpose of defense and retaliation against a nuclear attack from another country. Nuclear deterrence is the best answer to the danger of nuclear war, resulting in world security and the prevention of nuclear war. However, some people believe
Deterrence theory is a defensive strategy developed after World War I and used throughout the Cold War. It also figures somewhat in the current War on Terrorism. Under the strategy, a government builds up or maintains military forces and weapons so that other powers will not attack it in fear of a larger retaliation. John Foster Dulles elaborated that “The heart of the problem is how to deter attack. This... requires that a potential aggressor be left in no doubt that he [or she] would... suffer damage outweighing any possible gains from aggression.”[1] Deterrence is viewed by some as the opposite of appeasement, where an expansionist government is allowed to absorb some territory to reach a negotiated settlement. (See Munich Agreement) Deterrence
The Effects of Forces. A force acting on an object may cause the object to change shape, to start moving, to stop moving, to accelerate or decelerate. When two objects interact with each other they exert a force on each other, the forces are equal in size but opposite in direction.
Using nuclear weapons as a deterrent is one of the most effective ways to keep violence and destruction low. Deterrence is based off the idea of mutually assured destruction. This means that if one country shoots a nuclear missile to another country, the targeted country (to make sure the perpetrators will not emerge victorious), will then send their bombs off to that country, making everyone lose. The threat of great violence would actually be bringing peace. While this may seem paradoxical, it works. To confirm this statement, one only needs to look to the past. Since the catastrophe of 1945, there have been no wars between two major world powers. While the Cold War between Russia and America is recounted as a war in reference, hence the name Cold War, there are stages to the intensity of war. The Cold War was the lowest of intensities, which is why it is not counted as a legitimate war in this paper. To further explain this concept, hot wars are ones with violence and deaths, like the world wars. Cold wars are just heightened suspicions and tensions between two powers, such the Cold War. While these two great powers were intimidated by each other and prepared for the worst, both sides were too deterred by the threat of having a nuclear holocaust to start an actual hot war.
