Reviews and Endorsements
This is an innovative case study of why the stronger party in an enduring international rivalry would negotiate for peace, perhaps more about social psychology and interaction than about psychoanalysis . It is surprisingly readable, yet technically sound; more process oriented than the often-quoted Freudian pseudo analyses of governmental leaders. - CHOICE
"Sucharov provides a genuine contribution to contemporary debates in international relations theory. Her application of psychoanalysis to international conflict and peace studies is entirely new and will promote further research in this area." - Tami Amanda Jacoby, coeditor of "Redefining Security in the Middle East"
