Produktbeschreibung
International intervention in internal wars has gained a degree of legitimacy in the post-cold war world, but in practice it is still problematic. Response to these conflicts has remained mainly diplomatic -- and belated. Is there anything international actors can do to prevent, or at least ameliorate, such conflicts?

Muscat, a veteran international development expert, attempts to answer these questions by examining nine cases in which the work of development agencies exacerbated or ameliorated the root causes of conflict.
