Las guerras se hacen para conquistar territorios y poder. La mayor parte de las guerras actuales son guerras civiles que se producen para preservar la identidad étnica o religiosa, para poner fin a situaciones dramaticas de pobreza y explotacion, o para tratar de corregir la historia. La mayor parte de las victimas son civiles. El formato del Atlas de la guerra y la paz da forma y sentido a las estadisticas sobre las zonas mas calientes del mundo, al tiempo que realiza una vision de conjunto sobre el terrorismo, el trafico de armas, los campos de minas, el control del gasto militar y el papel de la ONU y la OTAN. El atlas del estado de la guerra y la paz comienza poniendo de manifiesto el tragico coste de la guerra -muertes, refugiados, colapso de naciones- y termina con una nota de esperanza, trazando el mapa de los esfuerzos diplomaticos y los procesos a favor de la paz.
