The link for the article http://www.iae.csic.es/polarization/cordoba06/slantchev.pdf its a pdf file.
I thought it was a very nice article which doenst rely on informational assymetries or things of that kind and assuming rational actors on both sides. On this site and many others the problem is that a lot of times one sees very simplistic explainations of war, boiling it down to "bad" and "good", "intelligent" and "irrational". I think that posting good theoretical articles like the above that are not political and having discussions around it could improve understanding and be a good source of interaction for the members.
