Golden arch theory
From his book The Lexus and the Olive Tree: Understanding Globalization. Here's a paraphrase from another wiki: The Golden Arches Theory of Conflict Prevention was proposed by economist Thomas Friedman as a way of explaining how globalization affects foreign policy and conflict. Essentially, the Theory points out that no two countries that both have McDonalds franchises have ever gone to war. And it was proven wrong in 2006 and then again in 2008. 19:39, 12 August 2017 (UTC)
