How Nations Pay for War Author: [US] Rosella Cabela Zelinsky Commercial Press

How Nations Pay for War, written by Rosella Cabela Zelinsky and translated by Gao Yu and Zou Guihu, explores the war funding situation in the two hundred years from 1800 to 2003 by providing a large amount of data, and analyzes in detail the relationship between a country's war financing strategy and national power, domestic interests, international political environment and war in international relations theory. Political decision-making is crucial in war financing, and leaders must strive to control the cost of war; at the same time, war financing also reflects a country's ability to obtain resources from its citizens and other countries. In addition to its empirical breadth, this book also has theoretical depth, focusing on the construction of concepts such as war financing, war costs, and war financing attributes.
