Sommario/riassunto

The striking upsurge in population growth rates in developing countries at the close of World War II gained force during the next decade. From the 1950's to the 1970's, scholars and advocacy groups publicized the trend and drew troubling conclusions about its economic and ecological implications. Private educational and philanthropic organizations, government, and international organizations joined in the struggle to reduce fertility. Three decades later this movement has seen changes beyond anyone's most optimistic dreams, and global demographic stabilization is expected in this century.

Sommario/riassunto

Why Wars Happen is a groundbreaking inquiry into the crucial yet surprisingly understudied question of why wars occur.
