Civilizational conflicts: more frequent, longer and bloodier
Article Abstract:
Hurlington's statement, 'conflicts between groups in different civilizations will be more frequent, more sustained and more violent than conflicts between groups in the same civilization' gives rise to three elementary hypotheses, which are dealt with. The previous empirical tests of the clash of civilization theory are further reviewed and the findings of the research are explained.

The demand for arms imports
Article Abstract:
The effects on the results of measurement error in the proxy for price, choice of estimator, non-linearity, dynamic specification, and possible endogeneity of prices are examined. In general, the results seem robust, though in cross-section there is a non-linearity, arms imports appear to rise and then fall as military expenditure increases, which is no apparent in time series.
