The benchmark reference for understanding the phenomenon of war
What do we know about war? This much-anticipated reference book
analyzes more than a thousand wars waged from 1816 to 2008 using
authoritative, highly standardized, and systematic coding methods
from the Correlates of War Project, which aims to reveal the
underlying patterns and causes of war. Resort to War lists and
categorizes all violent conflicts with 1,000 or more battle deaths
and provides an insightful narrative for each struggle. The volume
distinguishes between traditional interstate war, the phenomenon of
extra-state war as evidenced by the Al-Qaeda- USA conflagration,
intra-state war, and the new category of nonstate ethnic wars.
After explaining how to determine what a "state" is and how to
classify different types of wars, the authors describe each
encounter and highlight major patterns across eras and regions,
identifying which categories of war are becoming more or less
prevalent over time, and revealing connections between the
different types of war. Resort to War, the second title in the
Correlates of War Series, is a definitive source for students and
researchers examining patterns of international conflict; it is the
essential guide to the data, trends, and context of these violent
encounters. Key Features A unique study of the patterns of war
Highlights different patterns of interstate, intra-state, and
extra-state conflicts Authoritative data, newly discovered trends,
