Description
Book Synopsis
A systematic empirical and theoretical examination of how economic factors influence security affairs
In this book, Stephen Brooks provides a systematic empirical and theoretical examination of how economic factors influence security affairs. Empirically, he analyzes how economic variables of all kinds affect interstate war, terrorism, and civil war; in total, sixteen pathways are examined. Brooks shows the relationship between economic factors and conflict is complex and multifaceted; discrete economic factors--such as international trade, economic development, and globalized manufacturing, to name a few--are sometimes helpful for promoting peace and stability, but at other times are detrimental. Brooks also develops a stronger theoretical foundation for guiding future research on the economics-security interaction. Drawing on Adam Smith, he provides a more complete range of answers to the three key conceptual questions analysts must consider: how economic goals relate to security goals; what economic factors to focus on; and how economic actors influence security policies. Combining an innovative theoretical understanding with empirical rigor, Brooks's account will reshape our understanding of the political economy of security.About the Author
