Description
Why Peace Fails: The Causes and Prevention of Civil War Recurrence by Charles T. Call In many countries that have seemingly overcome civil war, conflict erupts once again. Why does peace fail to stick in some cases? This thought-provoking study examines 15 instances of civil war recurrence across Africa, Asia, the Caucasus, and Latin America. The author argues that widely accepted explanations for civil war, such as poverty or resource conflicts, are less significant than political exclusion. Instead, inclusion of former opponents in post-war governance is a crucial factor in sustained peace. The book highlights the importance of international engagement with post-war governments to ensure they can accommodate former enemies. By exploring these factors, Call provides valuable insights into the complexities of civil war and the challenges of maintaining peace.
