In the Future of Development series, the Center for Global Development and the Georgetown University Initiative on Innovation, Development and Evaluation (gui2de) bring together development experts, scholars, and policymakers to address the big questions facing developing countries and help shape the agenda in global development over the next decade. In this edition, Chris Blattman and Kate Cronin-Furman will join host Shanta Devarajan to discuss Blattman's new book, Why We Fight*, which draws on economics, political science, and real-world interventions to lay out the root causes and remedies for war, what leads to conflict over compromise, and how peacemakers can turn the tide by tinkering.
