- Summary:
- "Reciprocation is central to conflict de-escalation. How a country reciprocates—and how its domestic public and international rival respond to its reciprocation—will shape the trajectory of conflicts. Conventional wisdom focuses on balanced reciprocity. We propose two additional general forms of reciprocation: semi-reciprocity (reciprocation perceivably less than received) and super-reciprocity (more than received). We situate our theory in the US–China trade war, where relative gains concerns are salient amid great power rivalry. Deploying dyadic experiments to capture the dynamics of US–China interactions in the real world, we show, for the first time, how different strategies of reciprocation shape the domestic feasibilities of de-escalation. The findings reveal how different forms and sequences of reciprocation shape the prospect of rapprochement, shedding light on the public dynamics underlying different pathways of de-escalating a trade war that has profoundly impacted the world"-- Cambridge Core
