This book presents the first attempt to model the relationships among the distribution of power, international trade, and war. Edward Mansfield dispels the widespread belief that a monotonic relationship exists between the distribution of power and patterns of both war and trade.
Edward D. Mansfield is Associate Professor of Political Science at Columbia University. He is coeditor, with Friedrich V. Kratochwil, of International Organization: A Reader.
