[[PoliticalScience/Institutionalism|Institutionalism]] and the [[PoliticalScience/BargainingModelOfWar|bargaining model of war]] assume an underlying structuralism, which can explain conflict and peace. The remainder of the literature is less certain in the underlying assumptions. This field resembles [[Economics|behavioral economics]] in that it focuses on interventions, nudges, and psychology. ---- == Reading Notes == * [[GreekTurkishConflictOverCyprus|Greek-Turkish Conflict over Cyprus]], Glen D.
