This book presents post-peace agreement violence as a serious, yet
predictable and manageable, political phenomenon. Negotiating an
end to a civil war is extremely difficult, and many signed peace
agreements subsequently unravel, ushering in renewed conflict. In
response, important international actors have become increasingly
involved in conflict mediation, peacekeeping, and post-conflict
reconstruction around the globe. Policymakers and scholars alike
have identified spoilers-violent actors who often rise up and
attempt to challenge or derail the peace process-as one of the
greatest threats to peace. Using a mixed-method approach combining
quantitative and qualitative analyses of a newly created, global
dataset of spoiling, Reiter demonstrates that this type of violence
occurs in predictable circumstances and only represents a threat to
peace under specific conditions. The book also shows that spoiling
often serves to bring agreement flaws and implementation failures
to light and in turn forces actors to recommit to an accord,
thereby strengthening peace in the long term.
