In his new book, “Why We Fight: The Roots of War and the Paths to Peace,” acclaimed expert on violence and seasoned peacebuilder Christopher Blattman draws on decades of research on economics, political science, psychology and real-world interventions to lay out the root causes of — and remedies for — war. On June 2, USIP hosted a conversation with Blattman about what keeps rivals from compromise, as well as what remedies can shift incentives away from violence and get parties back to dealmaking.
