unless the good professor Hegre ( of Oslo Univ ) has been misquoted , i find the reasons for the choice - to be oversimplistic and reminiscent of the days when norway ( where the professor and his unity hail from) was a nation with the highest standard of living
from that vantage point of superiority he quotes statistics such as infant mortality and those parameters which are of the family-planning era - the 1960s and the malthusian lines of thought
without even knowing his name i'll wager a bet he did his PhD at the end of the 60's era ....( or was greatly influenced by thought of that era )
todays wars are not fought for those reasons - he has to wrong basis and therefopre cant have the right conclusions
NOPE - my take is the age-old india china pak war triangle ( which the west tried to create and which the west often quotes to put india or pak down whnever we talk of the progress in our countries ) is a failed trick .... pak is drawinfg closer to india and its nuke arsenal serves as a source of confidence ( unless al-queda gets it ) and china is more interested in their own uninterrupted progress economically
teh highest rpobability of war scenarios now shifts eastward - china asean SCS - china -japaj - disputed islands - ...china -usa pacific - japan
those being the most probable war scenarios -
as for china india - with almost parity in most areas of military strenghth i think the dragon is more intelligent than brave ( discretion being the better part of valour )
