John A. Vasquez explains the processes that cause the spread of
interstate war by looking at how contagion worked to bring
countries into the First World War. Analysing all the key states
that declared war, the book is comprised of three parts. Part I
lays out six models of contagion: alliances, contiguity,
territorial rivalry, opportunity, 'brute force' and economic
dependence. Part II then analyses in detail the decision making of
every state that entered the war from Austria-Hungary in 1914 to
the United States and Greece in 1917. Part III has two chapters -
the first considers the neutral countries, and the second concludes
the book with an overarching theoretical analysis, including major
lessons of the war and new hypotheses about contagion. This book
will be of great interest to students and scholars of international
relations, conflict studies and international history, especially
those interested in the spread of conflict, or the First World War.
