• "[Genetically Modified Organisms: A Scientific-Political Dialogue on a Meaningless Meme] is an excellent book presenting a very strong case for abandoning the acronym GMO. It will be extremely helpful to scholars and educators in developing countries who need to persuade their populace and politicians to adopt modern methods to reap the benefits of more nutritious foods and greatly improved yields."

International Studies in Peace Economics and Peace Science

In recent years, there has been a great deal of development in Peace Economics and Peace Science. In particular, the last three or four decades have seen the growth of Peace Science , a new field in which quantitative techniques and methods have been used to analyze not only the problems of political peace, but also areas such as disaster management, global warming, terrorism, and business and public policy, among others.

Some of the topics to be included in the series are:

Arms Control; Nuclear Proliferation; Peace Science Methodology and Theory; Democracy and Conflict; the Linkage between Internal and External Conflict; Ethnic Conflict; Coalition Politics; Environmental Conflicts and Global Warming; Globalization and Conflict; International Trade and Financial Crises; Disaster Management; Terrorism; Conflict Prevention and Management; Energy and Water Conflict; Military Institutions and Sociology; Economics of Conflict and War; the Economics of the Arms Trade; the Economics of Security; Globalization and the Restructuring of Multinational Corporations; Security Sector Reforms; Arm Races and Alliances; and Intervention, among others.
