Abstract

In this article the author presents and critiques rationalist explanations for war and the bargaining theory of war. In the first part of the article, the author analyses the bargaining theory of war and Fearon’s arguments that supplement neorealist explanations of war. In the second part of the article, the author critiques the basic assumptions of rationalist explanations for war and Fearon’s arguments. The critique is intended to show that the basic assumptions of rationalist explanations for war are problematic, and to show the flaws in Fearon’s arguments.
