Published in Security Studies, the article makes contributions beyond the study of war. Dr. Dolan showcases common themes in international politics and concentrates on decision-making during war, with emphasis on the effects of emotion on leaders\u2019 bargaining behavior. He states, \u201cWhy do state leaders choose to fight a war that they know they cannot win? Why do they choose to fight rather than negotiate when the costs and risks of war equal or exceed the value of their aims?\u201d He concludes that while honor concerns are not pertinent to every war, the case studies introduced in the article make clear that normative codes can influence the payoffs of rational decision makers in at least some decisions about war. Translating to many current events, the findings shown throughout the article can help make sense of other difficult decisions.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With primary research interests focusing in international relations and security studies, Dr. Thomas Dolan\u00a0recently published an\u00a0article:\u00a0Demanding the Impossible: War, Bargaining, and Honor.
