Walter Isard has died

- November 22, 2010

“Walter Isard”:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Isard, a well known economist and one of the founders of the “Peace Science Society”:http://pss.la.psu.edu/, has passed away. The _New York Times_ has an “obituary”:http://www.nytimes.com/2010/11/11/business/economy/11isard.html?src=twrhp. For those of you who don’t know, the Peace Science Society publishes the “Journal of Conflict Resolution (JCR)”:http://jcr.sagepub.com/ and “Conflict Management and Peace Science (CMPS)”:http://pss.la.psu.edu/2010%20New%20site/cmps.html. It also organizes conferences in the United States and abroad that are the central meeting place for scholars from various disciplines who study violent conflict (and peace) comparatively.
