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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBrooks 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\n\n\u003cp\u003eCombining an innovative theoretical understanding with empirical rigour, Brooks's account will reshape our understanding of the \u003cem\u003epolitical economy of security\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47773176004844,"sku":"9780691226590","price":59.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780691226590-the-political-economy-of-security.jpg?v=1782184671"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/stephen-g-brooks.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
