Public policies and attitudes toward war are examined to determine why, despite unprecedented arms stockpiles, major war as a policy option among developed nations has been disregarded. John E. Mueller (born June 21, 1937) is an American political scientist in the field of international relations. He is recognized for his ideas concerning "the banality of 'ethnic war'" and the theory that major world conflicts are quickly becoming obsolete. In 2007, Mueller received the Warren J. Mitofsky Award for Excellence in Public Opinion Research from the board of directors of the Roper Center for Public Opinion Research at Cornell University. Derived from a Kirkus review: Mueller argues that major war has gradually become obsolete as a policy option among developed nations. Mueller isn't the first to argue such a point, but his approach is different: he contends that as war has become more brutal over the past several centuries, involving the average citizen instead of professional mercenaries, governments have come to abhor it as a way of resolving differences. Interestingly, the author suggests that the evolution of nuclear weaponry has not significantly affected this mellowing, citing the fact that not only just the nuclear powers have desisted from war since the inception of the nuclear age, but all of the world's 44 wealthiest nations. The cooling of the traditional hostility between France and Germany, as well as Japan's move away from her characteristic militarism, is offered as an example of the new awareness. The author argues that governments began placing war under attack around 1815, when it started to be perceived as economically futile. It took the brutality of WW I to destroy war's romanticism for all time. Mueller squares off against Cold War revisionists by placing the onus for modern tensions on the Soviet Union's ideological affection for revolutions, but concludes that as long as prosperity remains a popular goal, prospects for a "lingering peace" should be good.
