ARM FOR PEACE - SHARON PFISTER KARTONIERT (TB)

Peace does not offer such an obvious rationale for arming oneself as does war. In fact  war
expresses an intention to attack which fuels preparation for it via arming oneself. Yet  there
are reasons to arm for peace especially when war is modeled only as a potential outcome.
Potential wars could be stylized into a winner-takes-all (-that-is-left) contest. The contest
design formalizes strategic behavior of  for simplicity  two players such as nations or states.
These players set out to make two decisions: First  they decide the degree of arming and then 
observe the armaments. Second  they decide on whether or not to use force. Two different mutual
deterrence-concepts lead to armed  peaceful equilibria with certainty. Yet another better
established concept considers arming to serve a different purpose  namely  to reinforce
bargaining power.
