The text begins with an extensive survey of arms race models, from the classic Richardson model to models exploring the effects of factors such as the domestic and international economic environment, public opinion and party politics, and weapons technology and information development. The processes of individual and group problem-solving, in both crisis and non-crisis conditions, are examined, drawing on work in economics, operations research, cognitive science, and artificial intelligence. Building on this diverse body of work, the author moves on to develop a framework for conflict management with which to approach a variety of conflict situations and applies this procedure to the United States-Soviet arms control conflict. Walter Isard is cited by Mark Blaug as one of the Great Economists Since Keynes (CUP, 1989 paper edition).\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: International relations [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on International relations\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22International%20relations%20%5BJPS%5D%22\"\u003eJPS\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46007143072024,"sku":"9780521368421","price":42.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9780521368421_93cb16ab-a206-4afc-a27a-49b8ef076498.gif?v=1691375834","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/arms-races-arms-control-and-conflict-analysis-contributions-from-peace-science-and-peace-economics-paperback-9780521368421","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
