Why are some regions prone to war while others remain at peace?
What conditions cause regions to move from peace to war and vice
versa? This book offers a novel theoretical explanation for the
differences in levels of and transitions between war and peace. The
author distinguishes between "hot" and "cold" outcomes, depending
on intensity of the war or the peace, and then uses three key
concepts (state, nation, and the international system) to argue
that it is the specific balance between states and nations in
different regions that determines the hot or warm outcomes: the
lower the balance, the higher the war proneness of the region,
while the higher the balance, the warmer the peace. The
international systematic factors, for their part, affect only the
cold outcomes of cold war and cold peace. The theory of regional
war and peace developed in this book is examined through
case-studies of the post-1945 Middle East, the Balkans and South
America in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and post-1945
Western Europe. It uses comparative data from all regions and
concludes by proposing ideas on how to promote peace in war-torn
regions.
