  • ROLE THEORY AND THE COGNITIVE ARCHITECTURE OF BRITISH APPEASEMENT DECISIONS
    STEPHEN G. WALKER
    Appeasement is a controversial strategy of conflict management and resolution in world politics. Its reputation is sullied by foreign policy failures ending in war or defeat in which the appeasing state suffers diplomatic and military losses by making costly concessions to other states. Britain’s appeasement policies toward Germany, Italy, and Japan in the 1930s are perhaps the...
