In his study of bilateral trade wars throughout history, Conybeare ‹nds that Trade Structure, Threat Effectiveness, and “Democratic Trade Peace” 43 trade complementarity/competitiveness is an important variable affecting the likelihood of bilateral trade wars. He gives the trade pattern in the ancient world as an example of a complementary trade relationship.
