Trade & Peace

Commerce raises the cost of conflict and multiplies the rewards of cooperation — trade, well governed, is an instrument of peace.

Trade can be a force that encourages peace by increasing the costs of conflict and the benefits of cooperation. The idea that economic exchange between societies reduces the likelihood of conflict sits at the heart of Dr. Puyana’s work on trade and peace within the multilateral system.
