The Economics of Conflict

The study of conflict and its resolution now attracts an ever-increasing number of economists. For this three-volume collection, the editors have selected the most influential previously published papers by leading scholars from the vast and rapidly expanding literature in this field. Volume I addresses the theoretical treatments of conflict, including game theory and rent-seeking, Volume II presents a variety of different applications and Volume III deals with case studies. The editors have written an authoritative new introduction which provides a comprehensive overview of the collection.
