Was Schelling's work solely about conflict?
No, while conflict resolution and deterrence were significant areas of focus, my work was fundamentally about strategic interaction in general. Coordination problems, where individuals need to converge on a common course of action without explicit communication, were equally important. Think about organizing a meeting or adopting a new standard. The underlying strategic logic of mutual expectation and response applies broadly, not just to adversarial relationships but also to cooperative ventures.
