Description: "This paper reviews the economics approach to conflict and national borders.  The paper provides a summary of ideas and concepts from the economics literature on the size of nations; illustrates them within an analytical framework where populations engage in conflict over borders and resources, and may form non-aggression pacts, military alliances, and political unions; and discusses extensions and directions for further research"--National Bureau of Economic Research web site.
