Empirically, he analyses how economic variables of all kinds affect interstate war, terrorism, and civil war; in total, sixteen pathways are examined. Brooks shows that the relationship between economic factors and conflict is complex and multifaceted; discrete economic factors such as international trade, economic development, and globalised manufacturing, to name a few are sometimes helpful for promoting peace and stability, but at other times are detrimental. Brooks also develops a stronger theoretical foundation for guiding future research on the economics-security interaction. Drawing on Adam Smith, he provides a more complete range of answers to the three key conceptual questions analysts must consider: how economic goals relate to security goals; what economic factors to focus on; and how economic actors influence security policies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCombining an innovative theoretical understanding with empirical rigour, Brooks's account will reshape our understanding of the political economy of security.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ALLIANCE DIST - SF","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":41859936583813,"sku":"PR434314","price":68.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0562\/0213\/3637\/files\/image_TTG9Q2PR5OLI.jpg?v=1789113606","url":"https:\/\/smartfoxbooks.com.au\/products\/the-political-economy-of-security","provider":"Smartfox Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
