In the standard game of interstate crises, a nation targeted for coercive threats concedes or resists being unsure of how credible initiator’s threats to attack if resisted are while fully trusting the initiator’s assurances of not attacking after a concession. In actual crises, however, such inherently credible assurances don’t exist, for a coercer with ulterior motive might issue a deceptive offer to make a target concede and demobilize, then exploit it. In the 1950 Sino-American crisis during the Korean War, Mao refused to concede the control over the peninsula to America despite Truman's credible threats to attack China if it intervened. The rationale behind his resistance was his fear of Truman's belligerence to invade China after seizing the peninsula. Modeling crisis signaling under lack of inherent assurances, this paper shows the credibility of assurances not only affects the outcome of the game but alters how costly threats work within it. I found lack of assurances doesn't impede coercion only when it's minor. Further, under the lack of assurances larger military mobilization while always raises the success rate of coercion in the standard setting, can preclude coercion success by rendering assurances noncredible. Besides, by lettting a coercer simultaneously implement both verbal threats and military mobilization, my model enables us to study the interaction between the two signals. Verbal threats, though less costly hence less effective in the standard game, exert its relative advantage by precisely conveying resolve while denying belligerence, thereby assuaging the risk of escalation caused by tacit mobilization.
