Abstract
This chapter presents a dyadic perspective on research programs focused on the interdependence of industrialization, democratization, capitalism, and border settlements. It discusses all four explanatory foci simultaneously in two iterations, which starts with how the industrialization transition is based on the percentage of a state’s labor force that is involved in non-agricultural economic activity. The other iteration involves the capitalist peace literature exhibiting less consensus about how best to measure change in the international political economy. The chapter also presents the results of Granger-causality tests for the relationships among industrialization transition, democracy, trade openness, and border settlement. It considers the decline of some types of interstate warfare.
