The Urgent Need for More Applicability in Peace Economics

چکیده
To start, I shall criticize my own work. Take the paper on page 9 following this article. It purports to be a succinct statement of the topics and concerns of peace economics. It states "Central to the field are analyses of conflicts among nations, regions and other communities of the world; measures to control (de-escalate) arms races and achieve reduction in military expenditures and weaponry. . ." The paper does cover a wide range of topics where contributions can and are being made in economics. But when I consider the current Northern Ireland conflict, the escalating Palestinian/Israeli violence, the bitter stalemate in Kashmir between India and Pakistan, two nations with nuclear bomb capability, I cannot help but ask: where is peace economics making a contribution?
