Summary:

How can two enemies, locked into a spiral of fear and insecurity, transform their relationship into a trusting one? 'Trusting Enemies' argues that the field of international relations has not done a good job of answering this question. This is because it has been looking in the wrong place. Where trust-building has been theorized by the discipline of international relations, the focus has been on the state and the individual. This text argues that there is a need to appreciate the importance of a new level of analysis in trust research-the interpersonal.
