Book Synopsis
Presents a challenge to realist theories of crisis bargaining. This book tests the proposition that normative standards of behavior influence state actions in security-related conflicts. It examines the construction of bilateral norms as the settlements of the security-related disputes and the effects these settlements have.

Trade Review
"Too little attention has been given to the role of norms in guiding state behavior, and Gelpi has found a creative way of conducting an empirical test of their role. His is a book I enjoyed reading—a well-constructed professional investigation with intriguing findings. It provides welcome empirical ammunition for institutionalists in their ongoing debate with realists."—Russell Leng, Middlebury College
