Reviews

In this detailed, complex book, Vasquez and the late Senese set out to add to the 'steps to war' body of literature. -- J. Fields Choice [T]his book is an exemplar of empirical peace science... For Paul Senese, whose service to the peace science community and commitment to peace research ended unfortunately too soon, it is a fitting, albeit unwelcome, coda that will continue to inspire us as we endeavor to unravel the enduring problem of international war. -- Mark J.C. Crescenzi Perspectives on Politics This is an important book that confirms many of the postulates of the steps to war theory in a compelling fashion. It also provides a seminal example of 'scientific' research in international relations. -- Alex Bellamy Political Studies Review
