	North Korea's Missile Tests: Malign Neglect Meets Brinkmanship
		North Korea's brinkmanship is the evil twin of America's half-hearted engagement.
		Last September, after producing a joint statement of principles on denuclearization, normalization, cooperation, and peace-building, the six-party talks went into a holding pattern as sharp disagreements re-emerged over the sequencing of concrete actions to be taken by the U.S. and North Korea.
		Another option is to ignore North Korea's brinkmanship and bide time until Pyongyang does "something really stupid" so that multilateral sanctions could be imposed.

	Brinkmanship - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Brinkmanship refers to the policy or practice, especially in international politics and foreign policy, of pushing a dangerous situation to the brink of disaster (to the limits of safety) in order to achieve the most advantageous outcome by forcing the opposition to make concessions.
		Brinkmanship is ostensibly the escalation of threats to achieve one's aims.
		The dangers of brinkmanship as a political or diplomatic tool can be understood as a slippery slope: In order for brinkmanship to be effective, the threats used have to be continuously elevated.

	Brinkmanship Article by Kate McLeod :: ALLPM Project Management :: Project Manager - Project Management - Information - ...
		The practice, especially in international politics, of seeking advantage by creating the impression that one is willing and able to push a highly dangerous situation to the limit rather than concede.
		Perhaps the most famous example of brinkmanship in recent history is the Cuban Missile Crisis.
		The one thing to avoid at all times is the type of brinkmanship I described at the beginning of this article â“ someone always comes out on the losing end and feels bad about it.

	Pakistan's Nuclear Brinkmanship
		Bhutto's Islamabad for brinkmanship and crisis generation as a deviation from domestic collapse, the escalatory potential of the present cross border clashes is already a most dangerous situation.
		Bhutto who advocate brinkmanship are convinced that even in the case of unplanned escalation, the Clinton Administration will intervene to prevent a real war from breaking out.
		Bhutto's policies are clearly presented as the continuation of her father's message, especially Pakistan's claim for a role in the leadership of the Third World, and the crucial importance of close alliance with the Muslim World for Pakistan's national security.

	Chapter 8: BRINKMANSHIP AND IMPERIALISM?
		The brinkmanship interpretation is not, by a long shot, the imaginary hallucinations of some wild-eyed radicals.
		It is consistent with the brinkmanship theory's basic postulate of the strive for asymmetry (Chapter 5).
		Thus, the consistent practice of brinkmanship demonstrably enhances a politician's financial position, power, and prestige, while even a temporary lapse could grievously impair his or her worldly fortunes.

	Strategic Insights -- The Goal of North Korean Brinkmanship: Mediation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		This North Korean use of brinkmanship is a perverse way of facilitating an amicable negotiated resolution of North Korea's myriad problems as part of an inter- Korean confidence building process that will lead to co-existence and incremental reunification.
		This, too, has been part of North Korea's brinkmanship approach — in terms of making radical statements, sending signals that they are prepared to carry out reckless policies, and behaving in what appears to be an irrational manner — that are collectively intended to be perceived differently by Americans and South Koreans.
		Clearly this would be a better way to cope with the nuances of North Korean brinkmanship, deal with China's growing influence, come to terms with Korean nationalism, and — most important — avoid the risks of accidentally falling over the brink into a nuclear catastrophe.

	EurasiaNet Civil Society - Azerbaijan: From Showmanship to Brinkmanship
		Proceeding from that conviction, the Azerbaijani leadership has apparently switched from showmanship to brinkmanship, arguing that additional measures to preclude fraud are unnecessary.
		Further, uglier manifestations of brinkmanship include the recourse for the first time in an Azerbaijani election to "doubles," meaning the nomination in a given constituency of additional candidates with the same name as a prominent oppositionist.
		The final list of candidates is to be announced on September 7; manifestations of both brinkmanship and "fl PR" are likely to multiply in the two months remaining before the election.
