"Conflict, Complexity and Mathematical Social Science" provides a
foundational mathematical approach to the modelling of social
conflict. The book illustrates how theory and evidence can be
mathematically deepened and how investigations grounded in social
choice theory can provide the evidence needed to inform social
practice. Countering criticism from constructivist viewpoints it
shows how discourse is grounded in mathematical logic and
mathematical structure. The modelling of social conflict is viewed
as an application of mathematical social science and relevant
models are drawn from each field of mathematical psychology,
mathematical sociology, mathematical political science and
mathematical economics. Unique in its multidisciplinary focus the
book brings together powerful mathematical conceptualisations of
the social world from a wide range of separate areas of inquiry,
thereby providing a strong conceptual framework and an integrated
account of social situations. It is a vital resource for all
researchers in peace science, peace and conflict studies, politics,
international relations, mathematical modelling in the social
sciences and complexity theory.
This book, first published in 1988, represents a unique attempt to
combine a discussion of an alternative British defence policy in
terms of military strategy and new technology, with a consideration
of how this policy might be secure in political terms. Written
against a background of a possible future Labour government in the
late 1980s with a radically different defence policy to the
Conservative Government of the day, it considers questions such as:
Would conventional deterrence really be effective? Just what is the
Labour Party's defence policy? How precisely might Britain be
transformed into a non-aligned, non-militarist state?

Arthur Bach (Dudley Moore) is a millionaire playboy who spends most
of his life drunk, mollycoddled by cynical manservant Hobson (John
Gielgud). Threatened with poverty by his grandmother unless he
finally marries his socialite fiancée Susan (Jill Eikenberry),
Arthur's response is to embark on an affair with penniless, working
class waitress Linda (Liza Minnelli). John Gielgud won an Oscar for
Best Supporting Oscar, and a sequel, 'Arthur 2', followed in 1988.
