In Catastrophic Success, Alexander B. Downes compiles all instances of regime change around the world over the past two centuries. Drawing on this impressive data set, Downes shows that regime change increases the likelihood of civil war and violent leader removal in target states and fails to reduce the probability of conflict between intervening states and their targets. As Downes demonstrates, when a state confronts an obstinate or dangerous adversary, the lure of toppling its government and establishing a friendly administration is strong. The historical record, however, shows that foreign-imposed regime change is, in the long term, neither cheap, easy, nor consistently successful. The strategic impulse to forcibly oust antagonistic or non-compliant regimes overlooks two key facts. First, the act of overthrowing a foreign government sometimes causes its military to disintegrate, sending thousands of armed men into the countryside where they often wage an insurgency against the intervener. Second, externally-imposed leaders face a domestic audience in addition to an external one, and the two typically want different things. These divergent preferences place imposed leaders in a quandary: taking actions that please one invariably alienates the other. Regime change thus drives a wedge between external patrons and their domestic prot?g?s or between prot?g?s and their people. Catastrophic Success provides sober counsel for leaders and diplomats. Regime change may appear an expeditious solution, but states are usually better off relying on other tools of influence, such as diplomacy. Regime change, Downes urges, should be reserved for exceptional cases. Interveners must recognize that, absent a rare set of promising preconditions, regime change often instigates a new period of uncertainty and conflict that impedes their interests from being realized.

Essential Guide to Interpersonal a ISBN: 1801443211 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781801443210 Издательство: Неизвестно Рейтинг: Цена: 36740.00 T Наличие на складе: Нет в наличии. Описание: Have you been in a situation where you spoke to someone, and they perceived you as aggressive even when you did not have an ounce of aggression in you?Have you been in a room where people only wanted to speak to one person, and you couldn't figure out why the person received all that attention?Have you ever had your boss scold you or even fire you from your job after speaking with him briefly, and you couldn't point to any careless word you said during the conversation?
You may or may not have known that the reason behind the unfortunate event, but most often than not, it is because your communication method was poor, or rather, your delivery method. Well, if you asked, most people have even lost count of the numerous times seemingly innocent conversations landed them in trouble or caused them many losses.
Without proper knowledge of how to communicate, you may borrow something from a friend and be dismissed, you could have a chance to speak to your boss and end up fired, or you could miss the opportunity to gain that client who was interested in your products or services. People say that money, and sometimes love, makes the world go round, but in reality, there isn't much you could do without proper communication. How would people give you what you asked for? How would people understand what you? You need to communicate properly just to get by.
It is not enough for you to just get by, though. As people become more knowledgeable, they are becoming pickier. Twenty years ago, a customer would stand to be treated and spoken to rudely, if only they could access the products or services you are offering. However, with globalization and more education from various sources, people now understand their rights and have more choices. In fact, a business owner is unlikely to survive in his craft if he cannot treat a customer right because word of his misdemeanor will spread like bush fire. This attitude has spread even to other areas of life, and people are more impatient with poor treatment. If you are rude to your friends or employees, you will soon have none around you. Therefore, it pays to be able to communicate with others well, not only for your message to be heard, but also to ensure that it is conveyed in good faith.
As such, the author has gone out of his way to come up with a comprehensive book filled with useful communication guidelines to help you in your dealings with yourself and out to how you deal with others. As you know, good communication begins with your treatment of yourself and onto how you treat other people.
