Produktbeschreibung

This volume brings together an internationally diverse range of studies by leading scholars to examine the relationship between conflict and reconstruction. They look at how periods of war and other forms of political violence have been justified as processes of necessary and valid reconstruction as well as the role of war in catalyzing the construction of new and socially progressive institutions and destroying old regimes.
