Barry H. Steiner is Professor of Political Science at California State University at Long Beach. He is the author of Bernard Brodie and the Foundations of American Nuclear Strategy.
"…an important book that breaks new ground in analyzing the
dynamics among the great powers that determine the prospects and
patterns of collective action to defuse ethnic conflict in smaller
states." — Perspectives on Politics
"Fascinating to read, enormously thorough, detailed, and
authoritative in a huge range of topics. Steiner has taken a
complicated subject and, in several case studies that span two
centuries, carefully arrived at conclusions that can be a guide to
current and future action and understanding." — I. William Zartman,
coeditor of Peacemaking in International Conflict: Methods and
Techniques
"A fine study, which fills an important gap in the literature of
the past decade on preventive diplomacy and related problems." —
Alexander L. George, coauthor of Presidential Personality and
Performance
