This article examines the effect that inequality between states and inequality within states can have on international security. The author suggests that if the US is any example, then inequality within states is unlikely to cause genuine security problems. However, he suggests that inequality among states has a more mixed effect. This is because while it can reduce international competition - and as a consequence, conflict - such inequality can also lead more powerful states to undertake ambitious foreign policy projects, which can increase conflict.
