Abstract

Ralph White's argument about the important role of demonized enemy images, lack of realistic empathy, and misperception in the processes leading to crisis and war find important parallels in the theoretical and empirical literature on international relations. I emphasize that military superiority is not sufficient to deter adversary aggression and that White's proposed guidelines for policymakers have some overlap with contemporary theories of crisis management.
