Crafting Peace analyzes warlords in depth, including their
organizational structure and the context in which they operate,
ultimately exploring the effectiveness of various short and
long-term strategies to deal with warlords. Instead of focusing
strictly on economic causes, the focus here is on the extremely
frail politial/security environment that allows warlords to rise
up, seize power, and profit in the midst of chaos. This deeper
political context, under-analyzed in other texts in terms of its
effect on warlordism, is crucial to understanding both why warlords
arise and how they should be dealt with. This book suggests a
two-pronged strategic approach to help craft peace: unseating
certain intransigent warlords through immediate, coercive measures;
and taking away the anarchic environment in which these actors
thrive by implementing several policies aimed at rebuilding law and
order over the long-term. Sasha Lezhnev discusses this approach by
looking at real-world cases in Sierra Leone and Tajikistan.
Crafting Peace presents a new way of looking at eliminating
warlords and restoring peace in war-torn states that will prove
essential to both scholars and practitioners in international
relations and political science.
