| Summary / Abstract (Note) | This symposium has provided a priceless opportunity to advance debate on how global commerce influences international security. Of particular importance is that these articles help clarify exactly how the globalization of production affects great power security relations. My article comprises four parts, the first of which outlines the current state of the debate on how the globalization of production influences security and discusses why further research on this topic is needed. Section two examines Jonathan Kirshner's article, which helpfully shows why my conclusion that the globalization of production is stabilizing ultimately pertains to the severity of great power war, not its initiation. Section three discusses Jonathan Caverely's article and demonstrates how almost all the critical issues raised by Caverley are consistent with Producing Security. Section four turns to Eugene Gholz's contribution, which explores the boundary conditions of some of my arguments and usefully underscores that the globalization of production does not influence the benefits of conquest in advanced countries nearly as strongly in the short-term as it does in the long-term. |
