Synopsis

A seminal analysis of civil war in Africa, revised and expanded with new case studies. In recent years, the Collier-Hoeffler model has sparked debate on the relationship between conflict and development. Understanding Civil War applies this model to 15 countries, using case studies to refine economic models of civil war. This volume demonstrates that the "greed" versus "grievance" debate is too simplistic.

  • Examine the root causes of civil war in Africa
  • Explore the role of economic and political factors
  • Understand the dynamics of conflict escalation

For policymakers, students, and social scientists interested in African studies, conflict resolution, and economic development.
