Conflict and Peace in the Modern International System: A Study of the Principles of International Order - Softcover
Synopsis
This book is an important contribution to the understanding of conflict and peace in the modern world, and to the continuous debate about the best methods to avoid and limit wars. This revised edition has the added advantage of having updated information about international and civil conflicts up to the early 1980s. This last point is important as there is not any other book that I know of which offers a comprehensive approach to the topic as well as updated information on the international conflicts that happened during the last few years.
It guides the reader through a complex topic, helping one to understand the reasons for conflict and to realistically assess the possibilities for peace in different contexts. It also provides well argued policy recommendations about the means to be used to reduce the likelihood of armed conlict, its intensity, and duration.

Review
"Conflict and Peace in the Modern International System offers a wealth of information adequately balanced with analytical observations, and thoughtful discussions of controversial issues. The book's thesis is defended on the basis of a solid scholarship and illuminating reasoning, and provides a stimulating alternative to other power oriented, state-centered analyses of the topic. From this viewpoint, the author presents a well argued and realistic study of the actual and potential role of international law, organizations, and public opinion in creating conditions for the peaceful resolution of conflictive situations in the international scene." -- Aldo C. Vacs, Skidmore College
