Incentives-(s)


 * “Ongoing U.S. Efforts to Curb Iran’s Nuclear Program.” __The American Journal of International__ __Law__ 100, no. 2 (April 2006): 480-485.**

This journal article chronicles the Unites States and European allies UK, France and Germany to implement a “carrots and sticks” diplomacy with Iran to convince the middle eastern nation to abandon its pursuit of a nuclear program capable of producing nuclear weapons. In this diplomacy, the European nations are assuming a “good cop” role in attempting to negotiate a series of incentives for Iran to abandon its program. The United States has assumed the “bad cop” role of suggesting more robust action (including not ruling out military action) against the regime in Tehran should Iran fail to abandon its nuclear program. The situation with Iran illustrates the dangers of nuclear proliferation, security issues, and international relations surrounding nuclear energy. **(Hilary Straus)**
