Brinkmanship is the indication by a nation that it will do anything it needs to defend its interests. One dictionary defines it:
:The practice, especially in international politics, of seeking advantage by creating the impression that one is willing and able to push a highly dangerous situation to the limit rather than concede.<ref>American Heritage Dictionary[http://www.bartleby.com/61/54/B0485400.html]</ref>
The word is associated with [[John Foster Dulles]], [[Dwight D. Eisenhower|Eisenhower]]'s secretary of state.
