Using an original dataset, Richard Ned Lebow examines the distribution of wars across three and a half centuries and argues that, contrary to conventional wisdom, only a minority of these were motivated by security or material interest. Instead, the majority are the result of a quest for standing, and for revenge - an attempt to get even with states who had previously made successful territorial grabs"--Provided by publisher. | | Subject | : | War-- Causes. | | Dewey Classification | : | 355.02/7 | | LC Classification | : | U21.2.L386 2010 |
