| Summary: | "This volume identifies the economic and social factors underlying the perpetuation of civil wars, exploring as well the economic incentives and disincentives available to international actors seeking to restore peace to war-torn societies."

They strive consistently for policy relevance in both their analysis and their prescriptions."--BOOK JACKET. |
