Summary:

"Transparency has received increased theoretical attention, but we need to understand how and when it supports or impedes cooperation among nations. "Promoting Peace with Information" provides that empirical investigation. Dan Lindley is scrupulously fair in his presentation of case-study materials and his evaluation of his hypotheses. Readers ought to feel they are in sure, capable, and unbiased hands."--Charles Lipson, University of Chicago

""Promoting Peace with Information" is a very thorough and careful study of the effects of transparency on cooperation in post-conflict situations. Transparency is a central component of current theories of what makes cooperation possible and of contemporary practice in peacekeeping and conflict resolution, but its effects have seldom been systematically assessed. Dan Lindley makes a real contribution to our understanding of this vital issue."--Andrew Kydd, University of Pennsylvania
