Abstract
Economic Interdependence and International Conflict: New Perspectives on an Enduring Debate. Edited by Edward D. Mansfield and Brian M. Pollins. Ann Arbor: University of Michigan Press, 2003. 286p. 28.00 paper.International trade is often wrapped up in a package with many good things—wealth, development, democracy, and peace. The proposition that increased trade is related to pacific international relations is one of the most well-known tenets of liberal theory. Despite its long history in political thought, the relationship between trade and peace has not been subject to extensive and systematic analysis until recently. In this edited volume, Edward D. Mansfield and Brian M. Pollins collect some of the most current thinking addressing the theoretical and methodological issues that arise in the quest to conceptualize and test the relationship between economic interdependence and international conflict. Understanding this relationship is important both theoretically and for policy reasons: Many policymakers today assume that increased trade will create a more peaceful world.

Trade does promote peace: New simultaneous estimates of the reciprocal effects of trade and conflict:

TL;DR: The authors showed that trade does not reduce conflict, though conflict reduces trade, and that both trade and conflict are influenced by nations' sizes and the distance separating them, so these fundamental exogenous factors must be included in models of conflict as well as trade.

Modeling Dependencies in International Relations Networks

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used linear and bilinear random effects models to represent statistical dependencies that often characterize dyadic data such as international relations, and applied this new approach to the political relations among a wide range of political actors in Central Asia over the period 1989-1999, illustrating the presence and strength of second and third-order statistical dependencies in these data.

How the Wealth of Nations Conditions the Liberal Peace

TL;DR: This article assess the independent and conditional influences of democracy, interdependence and economic development on the likelihood of fatal militarized disputes over the period 1885 to 1992, and conclude that if the less developed state in a dyad has a per capita GDP below 1400USD, joint democracy is not a significant force for peace.
