Abstract
This chapter discusses a valid and reliable measure of industrialization transition. It provides an overview of the claims regarding how industrialization is vital to evaluating the fit of the most prominent explanations of peace in international relations. Variables related to industrialization tend to approximate wealth more than the structure of a state’s economy. Moreover, industrialization brought about major changes in the diversification of labor; as such, it became a crucial step in allowing populations to transition from agricultural labor to other forms of labor. The chapter then looks into the measure of democracy, economic interdependence, border settlement, and peace factors.
