The Puzzle of Peace moves beyond defining peace as the absence of
war and develops a broader conceptualization and explanation for
the increasing peacefulness of the international system. The
authors track the rise of peace as a new phenomenon in
international history starting after 1945. International peace has
increased because international society has developed a set of
norms dealing with territorial conflict, by far the greatest source
of international war over previous centuries. These norms prohibit
the use of military force in resolving territorial disputes and
acquiring territory, thereby promoting border stability. This
includes the prohibition of the acquisition of territory by
military means as well as attempts by secessionist groups to form
states through military force. International norms for managing
international conflict have been accompanied by increased mediation
and adjudication as means of managing existing territorial
conflicts.
