Conflict research is a rapidly srowing discipline in America and Scandinavia, and has recently begun to gather momentum in this country (where it was first pioneered). Is it an important development in the study of international relations, or merely a passing inteHectual fashion, or a well-meant but misguided attempt to apply scientific techniques in areas where they are inappropriate?
