- New ways of looking at war and peace, through the lens of advances in game theory and empirical methods.
- New ways of looking at the economy, the effect of hitherto unexplored factors like the effects of high costs of conflict and war on economic outcomes.
Social scientists and policy makers have long been interested in the causes and consequences of peace and conflict. This handbook brings together contributions from leading scholars who take an economic perspective to study the topic. It includes thirty-three chapters and is divided into five parts: Correlates of Peace and Conflict; Consequences and Costs of Conflict; On the Mechanics of Conflict; Conflict and Peace in Economic Context; and Pathways to Peace. Taken together, they demonstrate not only how the tools of economics can be fruitfully used to advance our
understanding of conflict, but how explicitly incorporating conflict into economic analysis can add substantively to our understanding of observed economic phenomena. Some chapters are largely empirical, identifying correlates of war and peace and quantifying many of the costs of conflict. Others are more theoretical, exploring a variety of mechanisms that lead to war or are more conducive to peace.Readership: Economics and political science faculty and graduate students; research staff and officials in international organizations like the World Bank, the UN, as well as many NGOs.
