Civil War, Civil Peace<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n (Ohio University Press, 2006) More than two hundred wars have been fought in the past half-century. Nearly all have been civil wars, and at the beginning of the twenty-first century, more than thirty civil wars were being fought. The \u201crules\u201d of interstate war do not apply; each atrocity provokes retribution, and civil war takes on a brutal dynamic of its own. Civil War, Civil Peace<\/em> challenges common but simplistic explanations of war, including greed, gender, and long-standing religious or ethnic hatreds, which ignore that these groups have lived together in peace for centuries.<\/p>\n When a cease-fire is arranged, aid workers, military personnel, diplomats, and others pour in from the United States, Europe, and international agencies. Outside help is essential after a war, but too often, well-intentioned interveners do more harm than good. Half of all civil wars have resumed after failed peace agreements.<\/p>\n Each war is different, and there can be no intervention handbook or best practices guide. Aimed at practitioners and policymakers, and essential reading for students of war, humanitarian intervention, peacebuilding, and development, Civil War, Civil Peace<\/em> provides a comprehensive examination of how interventions can be improved through a better understanding of the roots of war and of the grievances and interests that fueled the war.<\/p>\n (Description Source: Ohio University Press<\/a>) Helen Yanacopulos<\/strong> is the head of the department of Economics, Philosophy and Political Science at the University of British Columbia (Okanagan).
