Earlier work by political scientist Roy Licklider (“The Consequences of Negotiated Settlements in Civil Wars, 1945–1993,” American Political Science Review 89, no. 3 [September 1995]: 681–90) found that wars ending in a military victory resulted in recurring war (again measured as another war in the next ten years) 15 percent of the time, while war resumed after a negotiated settlement 50 percent of the time. Other authors making similar arguments include Robert Harrison Wagner, “The Causes of Peace,” in Roy Licklider, ed., Stopping the Killing, New York: New York University Press, 1993; and Monica Toft, “Peace Through Victory: The Durable Settlement of Civil Wars,” unpublished manuscript, Harvard University, 2003 (quoted in Weinstein, Autonomous Recovery ).
