Answer 1

Compellence and coercion through diplomacy are linked with the 'pre-emptive use of force'.

Explanation:

According to post-Cold War Western strategic logic, it is no longer enough to deter opponents from acting; it is now necessary to persuade, coerce, and, on occasion, force them to change their behaviour. The Western strategy has shifted from deterrence to coercion, particularly through the use of coercive diplomacy. This strategic shift is reflected in President Bush of the United States' willingness to discuss and use "pre-emptive" force.
