- Summary:
- Demographers and political scientists operating along the border between the two disciplines claim that demography must be considered a major driver of politics alongside classic materialist, idealist, and institutional perspectives. They look at political demography and political science; population and international security; demography, development, and conflict; demography and national politics; and demography in ethnic and religious conflicts. The topics discussed include a theory of political demography, US security in an aging world, youth bulges and violence, the changing face of Europe, and demographic change and conflict in contemporary Africa.
