Douglas Lemke inquires as to whether the factors that lead to war among great powers also apply to other countries, considering different regional circumstances and historical experiences. The book examines Africa, the Far East, the Middle East and South America, and argues that the causes of war are similar across these regions, but that there are differences based on varying patterns of development. This book will interest students and scholars of international relations, peace studies, comparative politics and area studies About The Author: Douglas Lemke is Assistant Professor in the Department of Political Science at the University of Michigan. He is the author of several articles on international conflict in leading journals, and is co-author of Power Transitions (2001), and co-editor of Parity and War (1996).
