Dangerous bargains with the devil? Incorporating new approaches in peace science for the study of war

Conflict Management and Peace Science, 2017, vol. 34, issue 1, 98-116

Abstract: Two theoretical perspectives, dangerous dyads and the bargaining model of war , have dominated theoretical discourse and empirical analyses in the Peace Science Society community for the past 25 years. This article discusses what we have learned about war from these approaches to the study of interstate and intrastate conflict. More critically, the piece examines what perspectives have been absent from Peace Science research and how these missing gaps influence the quantitative study of war and the diversity of the Peace Science community.
