Abstract

In this lecture, Tomz will present material from "The Credibility of International Commitments," a multi-year project supported by an NSF CAREER grant in which he examines what makes threats and promises believable to international audiences. Tomz focuses on two strategies hypothesized to enhance the credibility of commitments: announcing commitments to domestic/foreign audiences (the "publicity" mechanism) and embedding commitments in treaties (the "legalization" mechanism).
