Rethinking the Economics of War

'The issue of the relationship between economics and conflicts needs much more examination than it has received to date. This book will make a very important contribution to the debate and as such is quite exciting. The authors have been very serious in their work and yet are able to introduce the reader to a complex analysis of complex conflicts in very engaging ways. The book will be welcomed by scholars and practitioners focused on managing conflict, and by area studies specialists of the countries examined in the case studies.' -- Pamela Aall, U.S. Institute for Peace'Recommended.' -- Choice'Comprehensive and well-executed examination of the multiple dimensions -- political, economic, ideational and historical -- that come together to spark intra-state violence and impede its revolution.' -- Lee J.
