HAVING recently had an opportunity to read "After War: The Political Economy of Exporting Democracy," a new book from West Virginia University economist (and onetime Free Exchange guest blogger) Chris Coyne, I've found myself trying out his application of economic principles to the analysis of armed conflicts, particularly in the case of America's current occupation of Iraq. This has proven especially useful in light of the forthcoming presidential primaries, which have forced candidates to at least superficially offer their recommendations for future Iraq policy.
That is from Free Exchange at the Economist.com. You can read the entire post here.
