Snyder and Diesing report that they based their test of several
deductive theories and models on a number of case studies. Thirteen in-depth studies
were written up. Three others, the Bosnia crisis of 1908, the United States and
Japan crisis of 1940 to 1941, and the Yom Kippur "alert crisis" of
1973 were studied but not fully developed. The Balkans crises of 1912 - 1913,
and the Syrian-Jordan crisis of 1970 were examined "less
intensively."
Links to the 13 fully developed case studies are given below. In
two cases, a page or two is missing. Links are also provided to some auxiliary
material related to the case studies.
