Will the Long Peace Persist?

- August 13, 2012

Global Trends 2030, a blog sponsored by the National Intelligence Council, has a series of blog posts scheduled this week on the persistence of the “long peace,” the idea that the post-World War II period has been unusually peaceful compared to other periods in world history. This should include plenty of interesting predictions on extremely uncertain but also extremely important outcomes.

Allan Defoe introduces the posts here. Contributors include Erik Gartzke, (UC San Diego),Benjamin Fordham (Binghamton), Joshua Goldstein (American), Steven Pinker (Harvard), Jack S. Levy(Rutgers), Richard Rosecrance (Harvard), Bradley Thayer (Baylor), and William Thompson (Indiana). The first post by Bill Thompson is up here.
