From the Paper:
"Interaction among states takes place in both wartime and peacetime. Peacetime interaction, diplomacy, can be either positive or negative; that is, aggressive or conciliatory. Invariably, states seek their own benefit in diplomacy, and the pursuit of such benefit causes states to be either accommodating of other parties in order to reach agreement, or to be greatly demanding, which can often lead to armed conflict. Wartime interstate interaction is necessarily negative because war necessarily involves pursuit of destruction, a negative sum game. Although war is a negative sum game, the methods of war can be used to measure the level of development of a society because war frequently requires a state to put its full resources behind the war effort. The changes in war methods, therefore, reflect the changes in society. Alvin and Heidi Toffler assert that wealth creation and destruction methods, just as war and peace, are linked; that is, changes in business are reflected in changes in warfare and that change in warfare necessitates change in ?peacefare,? the creation and maintenance of peace. The Tofflers analyze the revolutionary changes in the business world, the reflection of these changes in war, and the pending changes in peacefare."More papers on Book Review: Toffler, Alvin and Heidi "War and Anti-War":

Sep 01, 2000 Thank you for your interest in my work. I am now a Ph.D. candidate at a top institution. Most of my work was written while at Georgetown, where I majored in International Affairs major with a double concentration in Political Economy and History. I am a National Merit Scholar and I scored 1590 (out of 1600) on the SAT. You will note that my writing demonstrates the highest level of intellectual investment. I have also been recognized by Academon.com with a special $500 cash award for the academic excellence of my papers. My papers are not expensive, considering that they've earned A- or A grades at Georgetown, where I was one of nine students to graduated summa cum laude (final GPA 3.91).
