"Midlarsky has done it again, another state-of-the art handbook
on the most recent developments in the study of war. This volume is
entirely new with a focus on internal war. It is a 'must-read' for
scholars and students of conflict. Even the most knowledgeable will
learn a great deal from the book."
---John A. Vasquez, Thomas B. Mackie Scholar in International
Relations, University of
Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
""Handbook of War Studies III" is a tour de force. This is a
compelling and comprehensive work of scholarship. Midlarsky, as
with previous volumes, has assembled an 'all star' team from the
interdisciplinary field of conflict processes. In response to
trends in place over the last few decades, this third volume
rightly focuses on the intrastate dimension of international
conflict. The volume includes lucid presentations on rational
choice and political psychology as alternative visions, along with
convincing treatments of civil war, ethnic conflict, genocide, and
related issues. This book will be required reading for anyone with
an interest in conflict processes."
---Patrick James, Director, Center for International Studies,
University of Southern California
"This third volume of the Handbook is a very welcome addition
with its focus on intrastate conflict. Scholarship on internal
conflict has proliferated over the past decade, and therefore it is
time to take stock of the work that has been done and to point out
directions for future research. In this volume a team of leading
scholars do just that as they provide trenchant assessments of what
has been accomplished and what are the remaining big questions that
require further research. This volume will be indispensable to
students and scholars alike."
---Paul Huth, Editor, "Journal of Conflict Resolution, " and
Professor of Government and Politics, University of Maryland,
College Park
"Handbook of War Studies III" is a follow-up to "Handbook of War
Studies I" (1993) and" II" (2000). This new volume collects
original work from leading international relations scholars on
domestic strife, ethnic conflict, genocide, and other timely
topics. Special attention is given to civil war, which has become
one of the dominant forms---if not the dominant form---of conflict
in the world today. Contributors: Bruce Bueno de Mesquita, New York
