Why is the world fighting. The reasons for enmity and paths to reconciliation. Blattman K.

How and why do the wars begin? At what point and how the parties manage to conclude a truce? Christopher Blattman studied these questions for more than a dozen years on the most extensive material - from stories from the life of gang groups to well -known confrontations of superpower.

This will seem strange, but the author considers the idea that the world is full of violence. In his book, he convincingly, with very understandable everyday examples, talks about the fact that thousands or tens of thousands of those that were avoided for each major conflict.

In the book, he talks about the “scheme for understanding common forces” that underlies violent conflicts, and then offers a guide to prevent armed clashes and the fight against their consequences.
