threat perception
Definition
- Threat perception in international politics is an enduringly important problem that has been somewhat slighted in recent years, in part because cold war rivalries tended to reduce uncertainty about the source of threat. By the end of the twentieth century, however, changes in the international environment—such as the end of the cold war itself, the demise of bipolarity, and the rise of nonstate sources of danger—made the question of how to identify threats increasingly pressing.
