War termination, a critical aspect of war, is central to understanding the war process as a whole. Yet, this field of study, which is concerned with how wars can be brought to an end once they have started, remains neglected. Research on this topic, much of which dates back to the 1960s, has included diverse theoretical approaches - from the general to specific. The general approach addresses the forms and consequences of war outcomes, whereas the specific approach is more concerned with particular variables that explain why wars end. This article examines the contributions researchers have made to this field and structures a discussion around three critical, common factors: military dimension; costs; and terms of settlement. The findings show that although there exists no one theory or consensus on why and when wars end, researchers have successfully identified a group of causes. However, the significance of each cause is likely to vary depending on the specific conditions of each war. The article concludes by calling for more research on this topic in the areas of description, explanation, and testing of hypotheses.

▪ Abstract This paper reviews a range of approaches to the analysis of government termination, by any account a very important substantive concern for political science. One essential preliminary matter is the distinction between government duration and government durability—the former an essentially empirical concept, the latter essentially theoretical. It is also important to note that empirical research into government termination is heavily conditioned by the precise definition of what marks the end of one government and the beginning of the next. Approaches to analyzing government termination can be divided into those that are fundamentally empirical and those based on a priori modeling. Both research traditions are reviewed. The empiricist approach has evolved into a body of work that applies increasingly sophisticated event-history models to a dataset that has become to a large extent common within the profession. The a priori approach has developed within the traditions of noncooperative game theory to model the responses of key actors to new information, for example, about the likely results of an election that might be called if the government were to fall. There is clearly unfulfilled potential to merge these two research traditions into a single more comprehensive account of government termination.
