Sinopsis
Why do human beings fight one another?
In this exhilarating and bracing book, we learn the common logic driving vainglorious monarchs, dictators, mobs, pilots, football hooligans, ancient peoples and fanatics.
Distilling decades of economics, political science, psychology and real-world interventions, and through his time studying Columbia, Chicago, Liberia and Northern Ireland, Christopher Blattman lifts the lid on the underlying forces governing war and peace.
Why did Russia attack Ukraine? Will China invade Taiwan and launch WWIII? And what can any of us do about it?

Through his academic work he has witnessed (and helped to stem) violence around the world. Blattman writes regularly for The New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, Foreign Policy and Foreign Affairs, among others. For 15 years he has run one of the most popular blogs on international affairs and global development. This is his first trade book.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Based on two decades of research, the five causes of wars and four ways to stop themIt's easy to overlook that most of the time, war doesn't happen. Around the world there are millions of hostile rivalries, yet only a tiny fraction erupt into violence. With a counterintuitive approach, Blattman reminds us that most rivals loathe one another in peace. That's because war is too costly to fight. Enemies almost always find it better to split the pie than spoil it or struggle over thin slices. So, in those rare instances when fighting ensues, what kept rivals from compromise?Why We Fight draws on decades of economics, political science, psychology, and real-world interventions - drawing on examples from vainglorious European monarchs to African dictators and British football hooligans - to lay out the root causes and remedies for war, showing that violence is not the norm; that there are only five reasons why conflict wins over compromise; and how peacemakers turn the tides through tinkering, not transformation. Realistic and optimistic, this is book that lends new meaning to the old adage, "Give peace a chance."
