How do we understand illicit violence? Can we prevent it? Building
on behavioral science and economics, this book begins with the idea
that humans are more predictable than we like to believe, and this
ability to model human behavior applies equally well to leaders of
violent and coercive organizations as it does to everyday people.
Humans ultimately seek survival for themselves and their
communities in a world of competition. While the dynamics of 'us
vs. them' are divisive, they also help us to survive. Access to
increasingly larger markets, facilitated through digital
communications and social media, creates more transnational
opportunities for deception, coercion, and violence. If the
economist's perspective helps to explain violence, then it must
also facilitate insights into promoting peace and security. If we
can approach violence as behavioral scientists, then we can also
better structure our institutions to create policies that make the
world a more secure place, for us and for future generations.
