International relations

A leader who favours force over diplomacy

In political science and international relations, a hawk is a leader or stance that favours a confrontational, force-ready response to international conflict, set against the dove's preference for negotiation and restraint. Kesgin's Features of foreign policy birds: Israeli prime ministers as hawks and doves develops hawkishness and dovishness as orientations that can be coded and compared across leaders' foreign-policy behaviour. Here hawk names a disposition toward the use of force, a construct from political analysis with no link to the bird or the tool beyond the borrowed name.[1]

Unit
