Synopsis

If chances of a superpower nuclear war have recently diminished, the chances of international conflict have not--as demonstrated in Iraq, Sri Lanka, and the former country of Yugoslavia. Working under the aegis of the National Research Council of the National Academy of Sciences, a panel of distinguished scholars examine social and behavior sciences and the contributions they make in understanding factors which may promote or inhibit international conflict. They review research on international conflict, focusing on behavioral and social phenomena that may be critical in determining war and peace, and essential in building new international security.
