Threat Recognition and Response. Volume 1,

Abstract

This note is published as two Volumes. Volume 1 describes a model oof threat recognition based upon patterns and trends discerned from a study of major international crises and conflicts which occurred in the period 1938 to 1973. It also describes, in broad terms, the diplomatic and defence preparation activities which national governments undertook in response to their threat perceptions. Finally, Volume 1 records and discusses the durations of the various threat recognition phases defined in the threat recognition model, and lists in Annex A the primary national interests identified by governments in the conflicts studied and for which they ultimately fought. Volume 2 documents the historical analysis of the case studies of international conflicts between 1938 and 1973 upon which the model and results of Volume 1 are based.
