Conclusion: Theoretical and Policy Implications Appendix Notes Selected Bibliography IndexReviewsThis is a well-researched and useful book. It takes a subtle theoretical approach that offers greater insight into economic statecraft ... Furthermore, its empirical contributions on several vital subjects-including soft power, energy policy, and Russian behavior in the Caspian region-will provide a trove for researchers for years ... It will be a lasting contribution to the study of Russian energy policy and of economic statecraft more generally. - Political Science Quarterly This superb new study goes beyond explanations of statecraft that rely exclusively on market position, domestic institutional structure, and/or coercive manipulation of hard power. Not only does Well-Oiled Diplomacy refine our understanding of how and why each of these factors matters, but it also enlarges our theoretical sophistication by elucidating the importance of framing alternative options and manipulating the distance between them. In this way, too, it augments formal (rationalist) models of strategic interaction by incorporating risk alongside standard variables of information symmetry and cost-benefit calculations of expected utility. And finally, by identifying the critical role of discrete regulatory capacity, it strengthens our knowledge of the relationship between domestic structure and international politics. Scholars will be deeply indebted to Stulberg for all of these reasons. - Doug Blum, Providence College Author InformationAdam N.
