In brute-force struggles for survival, such as the two World Wars, disorganization and divisions within an enemy alliance are to one's own advantage. However, most international security politics involve coercive diplomacy and negotiations short of all-out war. Worse Than a Monolith demonstrates that when states are engaged in coercive diplomacy--combining threats and assurances to influence the behavior of real or potential adversaries--divisions, rivalries, and lack of coordination within the opposing camp often make it more difficult to prevent the onset of conflict, to prevent existing conflicts from escalating, and to negotiate the end to those conflicts promptly. Focusing on relations between the Communist and anti-Communist alliances in Asia during the Cold War, Thomas Christensen explores how internal divisions and lack of cohesion in the two alliances complicated and undercut coercive diplomacy by sending confusing signals about strength, resolve, and intent. In the case of the Communist camp, internal mistrust and rivalries catalyzed the movement's aggressiveness in ways that we would not have expected from a more cohesive movement under Moscow's clear control.
Reviewing newly available archival material, Christensen examines the instability in relations across the Asian Cold War divide, and sheds new light on the Korean and Vietnam wars.
While recognizing clear differences between the Cold War and post-Cold War environments, he investigates how efforts to adjust burden-sharing roles among the United States and its Asian security partners have complicated U.S.-China security relations since the collapse of the Soviet Union.

聯盟理論➕強製外交。雖然朝鮮戰爭 中蘇分解這些重大問題，都錶現瞭不團結的聯盟有可能會導緻國際衝突的上升，這本身在關係史中並不算特彆新奇的觀點。但是能夠把這些現象係統整閤起來，並且運用一定程度的一手資料進行實證，還是非常難得的。可以說是定性研究，理論➕曆史的博士論文類研究典範
评分麵麵俱到抑或。。。
评分柯慶生還是長於寫曆史啊，理論化功底不夠。
评分復習……柯慶生在某種程度上成為瀋誌華一樣的我的大恩人
评分柯公在國際關係學中的地位很像Stephen Kotkin在蘇聯曆史研究中的地位：視野和方法上全麵超越瞭更老一輩學者的區域研究局限，同時也展現瞭深厚的案例知識。正如樓上評論所言，本書乃“ 定性研究，理論➕曆史的博士論文類研究典範”。柯公對瀋誌華的研究偏愛有加，而中美兩國近年來的政治變化可能會讓二人更加惺惺相惜。可嘆。
