This volume seeks to understand the central role of governments in
intra-state conflicts. The book explores how the government in any
society plays two pivotal roles: as a deterrent against those who
would use violence; and as a potential danger to the society. These
roles come into conflict with each other, as those governments that
can best deter potential rebels are also those that can do the most
harm to their citizens. Therefore, a balance must be achieved,
raising difficult tradeoffs for policy-makers. This volume marks a
departure from studies of ethnic conflict and civil war in recent
years, which have focused on failed states, in considering the idea
that governments themselves may be the source of violence. The
contributors not only explore the balancing act that governments
must perform, but also on the positive and negative roles that the
international community can play in these conflicts. In doing so,
the book covers a range of cases from both advanced and newer
democracies to the most conflict-prone parts of the world.
