Is the decline of war a delusion? An exchange between researchers following the publication of Azar Gat’s article on the subject
A World Safe for Commerce
An Economist Biggest Book of the Year How commerce determines whether America preserves the peace or goes to war When the Cold War ended, many believed that expanding trade would usher in an era of peace. Yet today the United States finds itself confronting not just Russia in Europe but China in the Indo-Pacific, Africa, and Latin America. Shedding new light on how trade both reduces and increases the risks of international crisis, A World Safe f…
Economic Interdependence and War
Does growing economic interdependence among great powers increase or decrease the chance of conflict and war? Liberals argue that the benefits of trade give states an incentive to stay peaceful. Realists contend that trade compels states to struggle for vital raw materials and markets. Moving beyond the stale liberal–realist debate, this book lays out a dynamic theory of expectations that shows under what specific conditions interstate commerce w…
International relations theory and the three great puzzles of the First World War
The First World War continues to this day to be a source of great controversy among theorists of international relations (IR). Aside from its decisive role in shaping the twentieth century, there is probably one main reason why this particular war, above all others, seems to provoke such heated debate in the IR field: pretty well every major theory of international relations has a dog in this fight. Defensive realists and bargaining theorists, wh…
International Relations Theory and Regional Transformation
Regional transformation has emerged as a major topic of research during the past few decades, much of it seeking to understand how a region changes into a zone of conflict or cooperation and how and why some regions remain in perpetual conflict. Although the leading theoretical paradigms of international relations have something to say about regional order, a comprehensive treatment of this subject is missing from the literature. This book sugges…
Realism and Neorealism in the study of regional conflict
When it comes to the study of regional conflicts, realists as a group have been loath to put forward a clear and generalizable theory. This is not to say that realists have not offered insights into the probability of militarized conflict in particular regions. In the early 1990s, for example, John Mearsheimer and Aaron Friedberg offered well-known and controversial arguments for the likelihood of war in Europe and the Far East based largely on t…
Arms Racing and the Late Cold War
The period from 1976 to 1985 is one of the most fascinating of the Cold War. The 1970s had started out with such hope: the political, military, and economic agreements signed between Washington and Moscow in 1972 led many to believe that the world, after many false starts, had finally entered an era of truly peaceful coexistence. Yet by the end of the decade, even before the end of the Carter presidency, a new spiral of hostility and arms racing …

Rationalist Theories of International Politics and the Problem of the Future
A Realist critique of the English School
Over the past decade, the English School of International Relations (IR) has made a remarkable resurgence. Countless articles and papers have been written on the School. Some of these works have been critical, but most have applauded the School's efforts to provide a fruitful ‘middle way’ for IR theory, one that avoids the extremes of either an unnecessarily pessimistic realism or a naively optimistic idealism. At the heart of this via media is t…
