Sex and World Peace
Data-driven argument that the security of women is the best predictor of whether a state is peaceful.
Four scholars marshal a global dataset to argue something governments have largely ignored: the best predictor of a state’s peacefulness is not wealth, democracy or religion, but how it treats its women. Where women are unsafe, states are more violent internally and externally. Rigorous and genuinely provocative. Emma Watson recommended it in March 2020, saying that in her continuing search for answers she felt grateful to have encountered it.
