Description
This text explores how nations and states resolve conflicts and make peace. Using case studies to illustrate the peace-making process, the authors study the effects of peace agreements on societies from the ancient Greeks to our own, exploring the question: what types of peace agreement are most likely to avert future conflict? The book offers students a historical perspective from which to assess the prospects for peace in the 21st century.
