Social scientists and policy makers have long been interested in
the causes and consequences of peace and conflict. This handbook
brings together contributions from leading scholars who take an
economic perspective to study the topic. It includes thirty-three
chapters and is divided into five parts: Correlates of Peace and
Conflict; Consequences and Costs of Conflict; On the Mechanics of
Conflict; Conflict and Peace in Economic Context; and Pathways to
Peace. Taken together, they demonstrate not only how the tools of
economics can be fruitfully used to advance our understanding of
conflict, but how explicitly incorporating conflict into economic
analysis can add substantively to our understanding of observed
economic phenomena. Some chapters are largely empirical,
identifying correlates of war and peace and quantifying many of the
costs of conflict. Others are more theoretical, exploring a variety
of mechanisms that lead to war or are more conducive to peace.
