Abstract: "How Nations Make Peace by Charles W. Kegley, Jr. and Gregory A. Raymond explores how nations make peace and the conditions under which they do so. Using case studies to illustrate the peace-making process, the authors study the effects of peace agreements on societies - from ancient Greek society to our own - and debate the relative merits of compassionate versus punitive peace settlements. Specifically, they explore what types of peace agreements are most likely to avert future conflict and yield a lasting peace."--Jacket.
