War Decisions

War Decisions is a strategic-level foreign policy decision-making process that involves a state’s authoritative choice to initiate, escalate, de-escalate, or terminate the use of armed force in international conflicts, distinguished from other foreign policy choices by its irreversible consequences, high stakes, and reliance on military means to achieve political objectives.
