Description

As the world grows older, will it also become more peaceful by consequence?

We speak to Mark Haas, Professor of Political Science at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh and author of The Geriatric Peace: Population Aging and the Decline of War (Oxford University Press).

Ageing, Haas says, will not only increase the cost and lessen the preferences and capacity for war in aged countries - it will also likely prevent a great power transition from the US to China.
