Více o knize

The book explores the factors influencing why some regions experience war while others enjoy peace, introducing a theoretical framework that differentiates between 'hot' and 'cold' outcomes based on the intensity of conflict or harmony. It emphasizes the balance between states and nations as crucial in determining a region's tendency toward war or peace, supported by case studies from the Middle East, the Balkans, South America, and Western Europe. The author also offers insights on promoting peace in conflict-affected areas, drawing on comparative regional data.
