SUMMARY:Development Talks: Why We Fight  - The Roots of War and the Paths to Peace
DESCRIPTION:The Growth Lab’s Development Talks is a series of conversations with policymakers and academics working in international development. The seminar provides a platform for practitioners and researchers to discuss both the practice of development and analytical work centered on policy.  	Speaker: Chris Blattman\, Ramalee E. Pearson Professor of Global Conflict Studies at The University of Chicago’s Pearson Institute and Harris School of Public Policy 	Chris will discuss his new book\, Why We Fight: The Roots of War and the Paths to Peace. The book draws on decades of economics\, political science\, psychology\, and real-world interventions to lay out the root causes and remedies for war\, showing that violence is not the norm; that there are only five reasons why conflict wins over compromise; and how peacemakers turn the tides through tinkering\, not transformation.
