Developing a novel theory linking individual vengefulness to state behavior, Rachel M. Stein brings the study of revenge into the field of international relations. Stein argues that by employing strategically crafted rhetoric, leaders with highly vengeful populations can activate their citizens' desire for revenge and channel it into support for war, thereby loosening the constraint of democratic accountability and increasing their freedom to use military force as a tool of foreign policy. This book will change the way scholars think about how citizens form their opinions regarding the use of military force and about the role those opinions play in shaping when and how democracies go to war."-- $c Back cover. 650 0 $a Revenge. 650 0 $a War (Philosophy) 650 0 $a Violence $x Philosophy. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20191105021457.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A3E7A8B8CFA311E9B77D544F97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
