Resort to War utilizes Correlates of War data to analyze over 1,000 wars waged from 1816 to 2007. The editors highlight major patterns across eras and regions, including the advent of non-state ethnic wars, identifying which categories of war are becoming more or less prevalent over time, and connections between the different types of war. Based on authoritative, highly standardized, systematic coding methods, Resort to War is a definitive source for students and researchers examining patterns of international conflict; it is the essential guide to the data, trends, and context of these violent encounters.
