FOUR: The power tends to be tilted my way, not his, because he wants the revenue from the shirts (it is normally a fundraiser for nonprofits on campus) and he really doesn't want to have to count the shirts in and out. So he often will just take the cash advance I offer for the right to sell in his building. I offer him a flat $2,000 for the rights to sell and he likely will take it, or perhaps negotiate to get $2,500, which I expect him to do. If the deal is sealed at $2,500, and indeed we sell around 880 shirts to this audience, I have saved about $2,000 from what I would have had to pay if we had agreed to 35%. It's called "buying out the house" and many vendors use this tactic. FIVE: Using Multiple Equivalent Simultaneous Offers (MESOs) might work in some cases. Anticipating that the concessionaire may balk at accepting the flat $2,000 (even though I fudge a bit and tell him my shirts aren't selling that well and we're out of mediums of our most popular shirt) so we offer him 50 t-shirts to go along with the cash advance as our first offer. The concessionaire can use these shirts to make his volunteers working as ushers happy. SIX:...

Counterinsurgency The best counterinsurgency (COIN) tactics are those that do not require armed responses. History and current global conditions suggest that for the most part governmental troops are simply not very good at suppressing the forces for change that challenge, peacefully or otherwise. But knowing what doesn't work is not the same as understanding how to put into practice what does. And there is a growing body of evidence that suggests

Advertising and public relations serve to communicate ideas and convince the audience of something. Politicians are among the most prolific advertising spenders during election campaigns and can have enormous public relations machines.
