Features: Reading this book will help readers understand how to find scientifically valuable research questions. International relations graduate students can even find research topics for their doctoral dissertations from it. Scholars have long noticed the relationship between the end of war and post-war peace, and Kege Li and Raymond have deepened this issue. From the perspective of the correlation between the end of war and the duration of peace, they propose a meaningful question: How can the victors end wars in a way that benefits the long-term continuation of post-war peace? Most scholars focus their efforts on studying how wars break out, hoping to find ways to prevent wars by discovering the causes of war. Unlike the starting point of most scholars, the authors of this book do not study the occurrence of war but rather the end of war, aiming to discover the conditions for establishing long-term peace by studying the impact of different war outcomes on post-war peace.
