While inserting the links for the authors, I started thinking about how surrealistic Stanley Kubrick's Dr. Strangelove is. Click on the "Mutual Optimism"-article's authors' websites and you'll know why I am wondering about this.

I am through reading the Fey/Ramsay and Leventoglu/Slantchev pieces. I realized the following:
1) That I am sorely lacking math skills.
2) That Fey/Ramsay are more accessible writers that Leventoglu/Slantchev. They have a clearer way of telling with words what the math is supposed to convey.
3) Jim Fearon is the "da man".
4) Fearon, Robert Powell, and Branislav Slantchev clearly dominate the bargaining-approach-to-war field, while they all refer back to Geoffry Blainey's The Causes of War.
5) With the two articles, the AJPS managed to get two insightful and related pieces into one issue. Nice.
