Summary "Breaking new ground in political science, this book assesses both qualitatively and quantitively whether religion is a factor in initiating interstate armed conflict. Arguing that it is, Brown then explores how different religions have different effects. This book will provide interesting insights to scholars and researchers in international security studies, political science, international law, sociology, and religious studies"-- Provided by publisher
