Using the rational choice approach, Syed Mansoob Murshed analyses
the motivations behind civil war and identifies growth and
institutional failure as catalysts of the greed and grievance that
characterise the onset and persistence of civil war. This book
explores the pre-conditions for conflict in terms of growth failure
and critically appraises the greed and grievance theories common to
conflict literature. It is argued that various institutional
mechanisms of restraint that can be labeled the 'social contract'
are crucial for violent conflict avoidance. The reasons
underpinning the instability of treaties ending civil wars,
post-conflict reconstruction issues, liberal peace theory, and how
globalization and conflict relate are also examined. Explaining
Civil War will be of interest to development economists and
political scientists, as well as to students and researchers of
political economy and conflict studies.
