In this volume a group of dis tinguished scholars address some of the more important questions in the study of war and peace. Their essays-based on their contri butions to the Nobel Symposion on The Study of War and Peace display the status of present schol arship not as an authoritative body of knowledge, but rather, more realistically, as a dynamic en deavour with different tendencies and points of view. The themes of the book are grouped under three main parts causes and correlates of war (Micharl Howard and J. David Singer), strategy and arms control (Lawrence Freedman and Thomas C. Schelling), and the in ternational system (ohn Lewis Gaddis, Sondjatmoko, Alexander L. Georgs, and Michael Walzer).
