Population dynamics and international violence: Propositions, insights, and evidence

Abstract

This volume is divided into three parts.

Part I is based on an exhaustive study of the literature dealing directly and indirectly with the relations between population dynamics and international violence.

Part II focuses entirely on empirical materials gathered from an examination of violence in the developing world and seeks to explore systematically whether population changes have influenced the beginnings or the outcomes of violent conflicts.

Part III consists of a review of major themes, a section of concluding statements, and a short chapter given over to discussion of issues of policy and research in the field connecting demographic and political behavior.
