This book is a systematic effort by leading international scholars
to map the trends in major-power warfare and explore whether it is
waxing or waning. The main point of departure is that major-power
war as a historical institution is in decline. This does not mean,
though, that wars between states are in general disappearing. While
there is some convergence in the conclusions by individual authors,
they are by no means unanimous about the trend. The articles
explore different causes and correlates of the declining trend in
major-power warfare, including the impact of the international
structure, nuclear weapons, international law, multilateral
institutions, sovereignty and value changes.
