Summary/Abstract: Threat is defined as an expression of intention to hurt the other component in international relations if he continues to behave or changes his behaviour to a manner which is not agreeable to the party issuing the threat. Although threat can be compared with a promise, it should actually be evaluated independently, since it is really only successfully effective if it is not realized. This contradiction-manifested in the need to exhibit determination in fulfilling the threat without having the actual intention to do so-creates great problems when analyzing threat as a means of foreign policy.
