By examining a broad range of theories about trade's impact on interstate relations and undertaking a set of empirical analyses of the trade-conflict puzzle, Katherine Barbieri provides a comprehensive assessment of the liberal view that trade promotes peace. Barbieri's stunning conclusions depart from conventional wisdom in international relations. Consequently, \u003ci\u003eThe Liberal Illusion\u003c\/i\u003e serves as an important counterargument and a warning call to policymakers who rely upon trade-based strategies to promote peace, strategies that appear to offer little hope of achieving their goals.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Katherine Barbieri\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0472030760\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780472030767\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Michigan Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/23\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.74lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 6.62w x 0.58d","brand":"Katherine Barbieri","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48086692167935,"sku":"9780472030767","price":28.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ffbf2d5f-610b-42d3-a633-290e3fcd926f.jpg?v=1769096059","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-liberal-illusion-katherine-barbieri-9780472030767","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
