We spend a lot of time on this channel focusing on how nations prepare for and fight wars - and comparatively little on the thinking that goes into bringing about their end - negotiated or otherwise.

In this episode I take a bit of a break to talk about the theory behind deciding when and how nations might chose to end a war, the various ways in which they might chose to do it - and all the reasons that pure rationality is a pretty imperfect framework for predicting the behaviour of nations.

Apologies for the late release, and I hope you all enjoy.

I’m excited to watch this one. Always look forward to a new episode. If only corporate PPTs were this entertaining.

Ah, excellent. This looks like it might be an interesting one. The one on coups was a little ELI5 for my taste.
