Cambridge Studies in International Relations #27: The War Puzzleby John A Vasquez
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:This book constructs a new scientific explanation of the causes of war. The author describes systematically those factors common to wars between equal states to see if there is a pattern that suggests why war occurs and delineates the typical path by which relatively equal states have become embroiled in wars with one another in the modern global system. The book differs from others in that it employs the large number of empirical findings generated in the past twenty-five years to solve the puzzle of war and peace.
Synopsis:A new scientific explanation of the causes of war using the research findings of the last twenty-five years.
