Dell Theory of conflict prevention

According to "The Dell Theory of conflict prevention" by Thomas Friedman, No two countries that are both part of a major global supply chain, like Dell’s will ever fight a war against each other as long as they are both part of the same global supply chain, because people embedded in major global supply chains don’t want to fight old time wars anymore

(p.s. note the exceptions of the theory are mentioned in his book The world is flat by Thomas Friedman)
