The Causes and Prevention of War - Softcover

***COURTESY OF TWOBEARS BOOKS*** The central concern of this important new book is the critical species-survival question of our time: How can the role of large-scale violence in human society be reduced? Few people could be considered better qualified to answer that question than the author, Seyom Brown. Professor of Politics and Chair of the Peace Studies Program at Brandeis University and an Associate of Harvard University's Center for International Affairs, Seyom Brown is widely recognized as an authority on the politics of war and peace. He brings to this study his extensive experience as an analyst of national security and arms control for various policy institutes - including the RAND Corporation, the Brookings Institution, and the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace - and as a consultant to the U.S. Departments of State and Defense. He has also authored three related books of note: "New Forces in World Politics (1974)", "The Faces of Power: Constancy and Change in U.S. Foreign Policy from Truman to Reagan (1983)", and "On the Front Burner: Issues in U.S. Foreign Policy (1984)".
