Examines partisan political opposition to war, demonstrating that opposition leaders will oppose a war if they worry that a military victory might strengthen those in power & weaken their own position & if they feel there is a strong possibility they might successfully prevent the government from going to war. Political opposition is defined as a group or collection that opposes government policies; opposition goals are pondered along with the military strategies they are likely to oppose & the strategies available to display their opposition. The key factors driving opposition decisions to support (or not) the government are examined, beginning with Kenneth A. Schultz's (2001) model of oppositions-government-foreign adversary interaction. Relaxing some of the Schultz's assumptions leads to a different kind of strategic cost-benefit analysis for the opposition. Oppositions oppose wars that (1) they believe will be unsuccessful or unpopular, (2) may lead to significant political losses for them & gains for the elites in power, & (3) while popular with the general populace are not with their own political base & they hope to make a gain with their constituents. The implications of this for bargaining with external adversaries are discussed. 73 References. J. Zendejas

OVER THE PAST 20 YEARS, THE SOUTHWEST PACIFIC HAS BEEN CHANGING AND THERE IS NOW CONSIDERABLE SCOPE FOR UNREST WITHIN THE STATES AND TERRITORIES OF THE REGION. SOME OF THESE TENSIONS HAVE ALREADY SPAWNED POLITICALLY-MOTIVATED VIOLENCE--FOR EXAMPLE, IN IRIAN JAYA, PAPUA NEW GUINEA, NEW CALEDONIA, AND FIJI. THOSE INCIDENTS THAT HAVE OCCURRED TO DATE HAVE STEMMED FROM LOCAL ISSUES AND HAVE BEEN DIRECTED AGAINST LOCAL TARGETS, BUT AN INCREASE IN TENSIONS COULD BRING THE PROSPECT OF INTERNATIONAL TERRORIST ACTIVITY. THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY OF INTERFERENCE FROM OUTSIDE ELEMENTS SEEKING TO CAPITLIZE ON DOMESTIC UNREST AS PART OF A WIDER CAMPAIGN.
