  Underbalancing occurs when states fail to recognize dangerous threats, choose not to react to them, or respond in paltry and imprudent ways. This book offers a theory of underbalancing based on four domestic-level variables - elite consensus, elite cohesion, social cohesion, and regime/government vulnerability.
