Civil wars and internal conflicts pose the greatest threat to
international peace and security in the twenty-first century.
Nowhere is this problem more acute than in East Asia and the
Pacific, which has far more of its share of such conflicts.
Unraveling Internal Conflicts in East Asia and the Pacific:
Incidence, Consequences, and Resolution, edited by Jacob Bercovitch
and Karl DeRouen, Jr., is a book of originally commissioned essays
on civil wars which provide a compelling area of inquiry. Many of
the Asia-Pacific region's wars are very long (such as in Myanmar),
some tend to recur (also in Myanmar); some involve religion
(Philippines, Thailand), and some (Aceh, Bougainville, East Timor)
of the longest have ended in the last few years. In short, the
region presents a variety of interesting dynamics that merit close
attention in one volume. The aim of Unraveling Internal Conflicts
in East Asia and the Pacific is to provide an original look at
these civil wars. The unique feature of the book is that it brings
a variety of perspectives together into one volume. Bercovitch and
DeRouen, Jr., do this in four sections: The first, titled "Security
and Internal Conflicts in the Region," is an overview of conflict
and conflict management in the region. Section Two is called
"Features of Conflict in the Region." Here the authors cover
conflict contours, including intractability, conflict resolution,
recurrence, and Islam. Section Three, "External Involvement in
Regional Conflicts," focuses on third party intervention in
regional conflicts. The individual chapters cover mediation,
peacekeeping, and other forms of third party involvement. The final
section ties the chapters together. Unraveling Internal Conflicts
in East Asia and the Pacific: Incidence, Consequences, and
Resolution, edited by Jacob Bercovitch and Karl DeRouen, Jr.,
provides a fresh and comprehensive look at conflict in the part of
the world where internal conflict is most prevalent.
