The Handbook on the Economics of Conflict conveys how economics can
contribute to the understanding of conflict in its various
dimensions embracing world wars, regional conflicts, terrorism and
the role of peacekeeping in conflict prevention. The economics of
conflict is a relatively new branch of the discipline of economics.
Conflict provides opportunities for applying game theory involving
strategic behaviour, interactions and interdependence between
adversaries. The Handbook demonstrates that conflict and its
prevention is costly; it considers new dimensions such as ethnic
cleansing, destructive power, terrorism, corruption, the impact of
new technology, peacekeeping, the role of economists in defence
ministries and the use of private contractors in conflict. This
unique and comprehensive resource presents a set of original
contributions by distinguished experts, providing theoretical,
empirical and case-study material. It will prove invaluable for
students and researchers interested in defence and peace economics,
international relations and strategic studies. Policymakers and
defence industry executives will also find this book a fascinating
read. Contributors : C. Anderton, S.H. Bae, C.P. Barros, N.
