William Mott examines the relationships between economic growth and international conflict in history and theory, developing and analyzing a set of observed empirical modern growth-conflict relationships over long periods, and presenting an explanation of the observations. After introducing the growth-conflict relationship as the unit of analysis, he identifies historical perceptions of the growth-conflict relationship from ancient times through the modern era. Mott offers an alternative theoretical construct for further investigation, and speculates about the impact of these results on orthodox political-economic theory. The results of this work carry powerful implications for national management of foreign direct investment and trade in both home countries and host nations.
WILLIAM H. MOTT IV has explored and exposed the complex interactions between economic growth, multinational enterprise, and international conflict during his 25 years of interdisciplinary research, experience, and analysis. As a senior U.S. Army officer he served as Chief of the U.S. Office of Defense Cooperation in London. He has lectured at the Royal Military College of Science, taught at Gonzaga University and Salem State College, and is a frequent contributor to American, European, and Asian professional journals.
