설명
Offense-defense theory argues that the relative ease of offense and defense varies in
international politics. When the offense has the advantage, military conquest becomes easier and war
is more likely; the opposite is true when the defense has the advantage. The balance between offense
and defense depends on geography, technology, and other factors. This theory, and the body of
related theories, has generated much debate and research over the past twenty-five years.This book
presents a comprehensive overview of offense-defense theory. It includes contending views on the
theory and some of the most recent attempts to refine and test it.
