From Afghanistan and Sierra Leone to East Timor, the aftermath of
any armed conflict presents a complex set of challenges. Whatever
political agreements may have been reached, conflicts are often at
risk of reigniting, and the fates of their former participants
remain uncertain. Armed groups may not be easily dissuaded from
pursuing belligerent activities which they see as both profitable
and understandable behaviour. In the face of these difficulties,
the process of disarmament, demobilization and reintegration (DDR)
attempts to convince combatants to relinquish their weapons and
return to civilian life. It is a crucial first step towards lasting
peace."Demobilizing Militias" is the first comprehensive
introduction to DDR in the contemporary world. Examining regions as
varied as Africa, Asia and Central America, it guides readers
through the different stages of the DDR process as well as
assessing competing perspectives surrounding its implementation.
Attentive to the problems faced by practitioners, Eric Shibuya
argues against a 'one size fits all' approach, emphasizing the
importance of social and psychological contexts in fostering the
trust that is necessary for DDR to succeed. Accessible and
incisive, it will be an ideal resource for students of politics,
security and conflict studies, as well as anyone interested in the
dynamics of peacebuilding today.
