Why we fight
Title Why we fight : the roots of war and the paths to peace / Christopher Blattman Author Blattman, Christopher (Author) Publication New York : Viking, [2022] Copyright notice date ©2022 Scope 388 stran : ilustrace, mapy ; 24 cm Country United States Language English Note Obsahuje bibliografii a rejstřík Annotation "Why We Fight draws on decades of economics, political science, psychology, and real-world interventions 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. From warring states to street gangs, ethnic groups and religious sects to political factions, there are common dynamics to heed and lessons to learn. Along the way, through Blattman’s time studying Medellín, Chicago, Sudan, England, and more, we learn from vainglorious monarchs, dictators, mobs, pilots, football hooligans, ancient peoples, and fanatics. What of remedies that shift incentives away from violence and get parties back to dealmaking? Societies are surprisingly good at interrupting and ending violence when they want to—even gangs do it." --Cover Výrazy tezauru válka * násilí * sociální problém * etnický spor * společenský konflikt * náboženský konflikt * politologie Klasifikační znaky 0816 - Mezinárodní rovnováha 2826 - Sociální vztahy 0431 - Politický život a bezpečnost veřejnosti 3611.3 - Politologie a sociologie ISBN 978-1-9848-8157-1 Copy count 1, currently available 1 Document kind Monografie
