Answer:
to offer a way out
Explanation:
According to my research on statements made by Dennis Ross, I can say that based on the information provided within the question he states that the key to effective coercive diplomacy is to offer a way out. Coercive Diplomacy is an attempt to get a government, state, or country to change its way of being through either the threat to use force or the actual use of limited force. If you do not provide a way out for the party being threatened then this stops being a threat and turns into inevitable action, since they are not being given the option to prevent it.
