Assessing the Capitalist Peace

This book unites original contributions to the debate on the Capitalist Peace and thus the idea that key attributes of free markets make the world more peaceful. Key proponents of this thesis as well as their most prominent critiques engage into a lively debate on the theoretical foundations of this claim and its empirical relevance vis-à-vis competing explanations such as the notion that democratic pairs of states are peaceful. _x005F_x000D_ This book was originally published as a special issue of International Interactions.
