summary

This book deals with the theory and practice behind indirect coercion, a specific type of coercive strategy involving three different actors. Despite its common employment in international affairs, indirect coercion as a concept has so far received scant scholarly attention. The authors provide a thorough conceptualization and taxonomy of such triangular strategies, and study the operations of indirect coercion on a number of empirical cases, from Ancient Greece to the recent Ukraine crisis.
