Description
Book SynopsisPaths to Peace develops a theory about the domestic obstacles to peace in interstate wars—and the role of domestic leadership changes in overcoming these obstacles—and it tests this theory in historical case studies of the Korean War and statistical analysis of interstate wars since 1862.

Well-informed and well-written, the book should be of great interest to all scholars and students of international relations and the domestic politics of war and peace." -- Bradford Lee, U.S. Naval War College, Newport * RI. *

"Stanley's book is the best scholarly analysis and revision so far of the bargaining model of war termination." -- Colin Dueck *

"Why do some belligerents choose to end costly wars, while others continue to struggle over control of seemingly useless bits of territory while the death toll mounts?
Paths to Peace tackles this timeless and timely question in an original, engaging, and rigorous way." -- Jack Snyder * Columbia University *
