Economic confidence-building and regional security

"Three commissioned essays investigate the linkages between cross-border economic interactions and regional security, focusing on India-Pakistan, Japan-China, and Argentina-Chile. The purpose of this collection of essays is to probe deeper into the dynamics of cross-border economic relations and regional security. Under what conditions are cross-border economic interactions most likely to generate positive spill-over effects for regional security? And when are the benefits of interstate economic investments and trade unlikely to be transferable to the security domain?"--Web site.
