The New Peace: Pinker calls this trend "more tenuous," but "since the end of the Cold War in 1989, organized conflicts of all kinds - civil wars, genocides, repression by autocratic governments, and terrorist attacks - have declined throughout the world."
Den nya freden – Pinker kallar denna trend "svagare", men han menar att "sedan Kalla krigets slut 1989, har alla typer av organiserade konflikter – inbördeskrig, folkmord, auktoritära regimers förtryck, samt terroristattacker – minskat världen över.”
