Although computer simulation modeling has long been used to study issues in peace and world order, it has not resolved the controversy surrounding peace research. The problem is the lack of a well-defined methodological rudder to guide the modeling process. In this paper, a new methodological approach to the study of peace and world order is proposed, and its merits discussed. This approach is a synthesis or marriage of institutional economics, system dynamics computer simulation modeling, and peace and world order studies.
