Book excerpt: With economic pressures, demographic changes and the acknowledged futility of nuclear war steadily eroding the perceived utility of traditional military force, nations are looking with new favor on the conciliatory tools that were used some effectively during the classical diplomacy of the 19th century (negotiation, bargaining, the use of inducements). In short - a diplomacy emphasizing cooperation and accommodation. Force will still be an important player in international politics, especially at lower levels of conflict. While the world moves slowly toward some new security arrangement, it behooves the superpowers to emphasize a cooperative style of diplomacy.
