5.0 out of 5 stars Superb, but a little dry, November 27, 2008

This review is from: Producing Security: Multinational Corporations, Globalization, and the Changing Calculus of Conflict (Princeton Studies in International History and Politics) (Paperback)
The main thesis of the book is that since almost anything manufactured today that is even moderately complicated has its manufacture integrated in multiple locations around the world, therefore one of the main causes of aggressive war, seizure of valuable properties, is averted. It would seem that Iraq's invasion of Kuwait for oil is a counter-argument, but natural resources, even oil, are becoming less and less valuable relative to other things. Anyone, like Iraq, that would consider any natural resources particularly valuable would be too weak to actually get away with the aggression. The book is rather dry and academic in tone, but thoroughly argued. Highly recommended for anyone interested in military or international trade issues.
