"Principles of Conflict Economics: The Political Economy of War, Terrorism, Genocide, and Peace" by Charles H. Anderton and John R. Carter is a comprehensive introduction to the sub-field of conflict economics. The authors combine formal models from economics with theoretical and empirical work from political science, sociology, and peace studies. The book covers a wide range of conflict types and peace efforts, introduces key economic concepts and models for analyzing conflict and peace, and explores the economic aspects of war, terrorism, genocide, arms control, alliances, and peace studies. While the economic models presented may be complex for non-economists, the book is an essential interdisciplinary contribution for those interested in understanding and limiting conflict and promoting peace.
