In coercive diplomacy, states threaten military action to persuade opponents to change their behaviour. The goal is to achieve a target's compliance without incurring the cost in blood and treasure of military intervention. Coercers typically employ this strategy toward weaker actors, but targets often refuse to submit and the parties enter into war. To explain these puzzling failures of coercive diplomacy, existing accounts generally refer to coercers' perceived lack of resolve or targets' social norms and identities. What these approaches either neglect or do not examine systematically is the role that emotions play in these encounters. This work contends that target leaders' affective experience can shape their decision-making in significant ways. The study introduces an additional, emotion-based action model besides the traditional logics of consequences and appropriateness.
