Produktbeschreibung

Drawing on rich anecdotes, this book develops the 'peace formula' - a set of evidence-based policies preventing armed conflict. Their efficacy has been demonstrated by cutting-edge research, yet sadly politicians frequently prefer cutting shady deals with despots. This book explains how 'smart idealism' overcomes such harmful political bias.
