Cundy © 2015 Abstract This dissertation examines the British naval blockade imposed on Imperial Germany between the outbreak of war in August 1914 and the ratification of the Treaty of Versailles in July 1919. The blockade has received modest attention in the historiography of the First World War, despite the assertion in the British official history that extreme privation and hunger resulted in more than 750,000 German civilian deaths. -

Red Lines and Faits Accomplis in Interstate Coercion and Crisis
Red Lines and Faits Accomplis in Interstate Coercion and Crisis by Daniel W. Altman B.A. International Relations Brown University, 2008 SUBMITTED TO THE DEPARTMENT OF POLITICAL SCIENCE IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN POLITICAL SCIENCE AT THE MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY JUNE 2015 © Massachusetts Institute of Technology 2015. All rights reserved. Signature of Author: _____________________________________________________ ______ Department of Political Science February 10, 2015 Certified by: ____________________________________________________________ ______ Barry Posen Ford International Professor of Political Science Thesis Supervisor Accepted by: ___________________________________________________________ ______ Andrea Campbell Professor of Political Science Graduate Program Committee Chair Red Lines and Faits Accomplis in Interstate Coercion and Crisis by Daniel W. Altman Submitted to the Department of Political Science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology on February 13, 2015 in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science ABSTRACT The International Relations literature has an established view of interstate crises that explains how states pursue victory in terms of signaling resolve. States make gains with credible coercive threats (compellence). In contrast, this dissertation conceives of each crisis as a strategic competition between a challenger seeking to make gains unilaterally by fait accompli and its adversary’s countervailing efforts to set red lines to deter these faits accomplis. After clarifying the neglected concepts of “red line” and “fait accompli,” the dissertation takes up two questions the literature has left unexplored: When are faits accomplis likely to occur? When are they likely to lead to war? The result is a theory of coercive conflict explaining why deterrent red lines that contain any of four weaknesses – types of gray areas, in essence – are especially vulnerable to faits accomplis. -

Search in the Patience Game 'Black Hole'
1 Search in the Patience Game ‘Black Hole’ Ian P. Gent a, Chris Jefferson b, Tom Kelsey a, InˆesLynce c, Ian Miguel a, Peter Nightingale a, Barbara M. Smith d and S. Armagan Tarim d a School of Computer Science, University of St Andrews, KY16 9SX, UK E-mail: {ipg,tom,ianm,pn}@dcs.st-and.ac.uk b Computing Laboratory, University of Oxford, UK E-mail:Chris.Jeff[email protected] c IST/INESC-ID, Technical University of Lisbon, Portugal E-mail:[email protected] d Cork Constraint Computation Centre, University College Cork, Ireland E-mail: {b.smith,at}@4c.ucc.ie We present an evaluation of different AI search paradigms applied to a natural planning problem. The problem we investigate is a particular card game for one player called Black Hole. For paradigms such as SAT and Constraint Programming, the game has the particular advantage that all solutions are the same length. We show that a general version of Black Hole is NP-complete. Then we report on the application of a number of AI paradigms to the problem, namely Planning, Constraint Programming, SAT, Mixed-Integer Programming and a specialised solver. An important feature of Black Hole is the presence of symmetries which arise during the search process. We show that tackling these can improve search dramatically, as can caching states that occur during search. Our implementations as SAT, Constraint Programming and Planning problems are efficient and competitive, allowing detailed empirical evaluation of the strengths and weaknesses of each methodology. Our empirical evaluation shows that Black Hole is winnable approximately 87% of the time, and that given instances can be trivially solved, easy to solve, hard to solve and even intractable, depending on the AI methodology used to obtain solutions. -
