Conclusions. 330 $aThis Palgrave Pivot presents theoretical models that explain common historical sequences, such as wars of secession, the rise and fall of empires, and international war. The book uses a rational choice model to frame the incentives of specific groups coming together in a polity or leaving it. These incentives are then set in a theoretical framework to determine the outcome-unity or secession, peace or war-and are demonstrated through historical examples. The book provides two longer case studies looking directly at motives for and against secession: the first on the American Civil War from the point of view of the Confederacy, and the second on efforts by the UK government to stem the tide of Scottish independence. Another case study discusses peacekeeping as aimed at reducing the costs of secessionist wars. With its accessible use of economic theory and ability to bring to life real-world examples of conflict and secession, this book is ideal supplementary reading for courses in international relations, conflict studies, global economics and economic history. 410 0$aPalgrave pivot. 606 $aEconometrics 606 $aMicroeconomics 606 $aPeace 606 $aUnited States$xHistory 606 $aQuantitative Economics 606 $aMicroeconomics 606 $aPeace and Conflict Studies 606 $aUS History 615 0$aEconometrics. 615 0$aMicroeconomics. 615 0$aPeace. 615 0$aUnited States$xHistory. 615 14$aQuantitative Economics. 615 24$aMicroeconomics. 615 24$aPeace and Conflict Studies. 615 24$aUS History. 676 $a330 676 $a330 700 $aHallwood$b Paul$0913294 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910863193003321 996 $aInterpreting historical sequences using economic models$92045924 997 $aUNINA
