      abstract = {Publisher description: Successful coercion should be  relatively simple for the United States. Since the demise  of the Soviet Union, the United States is without rivals in  military might, political influence, or economic strength.  Yet despite the lopsided US edge in raw power, regional  foes persist in defying the threats and ultimatums brought  by the United States and its allies. This book examines why  some attempts to strong-arm an adversary work while others  do not. It explores how coercion today differs from  coercion during the Cold War. It describes the constraints  on the United States emanating from the need to work within  coalitions and the restrictions imposed by domestic  politics, and it assesses the special challenges likely to  arise when an adversary is a non-state actor or when the  use of weapons of mass destruction is possible.},
