Professor Chase-Dunn:

A point of clarification:  do I correctly understand your diagram to
suggest that the presence of a Kondratieff wave upswing, hegemonic decline,
population pressure and resource scarcity, and inequality _reduces_ the
probability of war within the core?  Is that a minus sign above the arrow
between the upper two clusters of variables?  Or did I misunderstand the
diagram?
