Preventing Modern wars

Clinical psychology has evolved effective techniques for dealing with anger, and these techniques can be translated to international politics.

Essentially, we help a person with anger issues to recognise the first beginnings of the feelings or situations that will escalate to an outburst of anger, and we teach them ways of diverting away from the path that leads to anger and violence.

The United Nations can (and does already, to an extent) use this same approach to war, looking out for disagreements and tendencies and then using negotiation in the early stages of problem formation, to prevent matters from sliding into military action.

These links below will lead to a page on how each main causal factor may be addressed. These are only suggestions; experts and specialists will have more approaches, and if you know of these, please give a reference in the comments.
