Negotiating a peaceful end to civil wars, which often includes an
attempt to bring together former rival military or insurgent
factions into a new national army, has been a frequent goal of
conflict resolution practitioners since the Cold War. In practice,
however, very little is known about what works, and what doesn't
work, in bringing together former opponents to build a lasting
peace. Contributors to this volume assess why some civil wars
result in successful military integration while others dissolve
into further strife, factionalism, and even renewed civil war.
Eleven cases are studied in detail-Sudan, Zimbabwe, Lebanon,
Rwanda, the Philippines, South Africa, Mozambique,
Bosnia-Herzegovina, Sierra Leone, Democratic Republic of the Congo,
and Burundi-while other chapters compare military integration with
corporate mergers and discuss some of the hidden costs and risks of
merging military forces. New Armies from Old fills a serious gap in
our understanding of civil wars, their possible resolution, and how
to promote lasting peace, and will be of interest to scholars and
students of conflict resolution, international affairs, and peace
and security studies.
