Since World War II, civil wars have replaced interstate wars as the
most frequent and deadly form of armed conflict globally. How do we
account for when and where civil wars are likely to occur, when and
how they are likely to end, and whether or not they will recur? In
this timely book, leading scholars guide us through what the latest
research tells us about the onset, duration, outcomes, and
recurrence of civil wars, as well as the ongoing consequences of
conflicts in war-torn countries such as Syria, Sudan, and Rwanda.
In mapping out the current state of our knowledge about civil
conflicts, the authors also identify what we do not know about
civil wars. The book describes new directions in civil-war
research, including transitional justice institutions in
post-conflict environments, the "resource curse," the role of
women, and the relationship between the environment and civil
conflict. The authors also highlight new trends in civil-war data
collection that have enabled scholars to examine the geographic and
temporal patterns of armed conflict. This authoritative text offers
both an accessible and current overview of current knowledge and an
agenda for future research. With contributions by Halvard Buhaug,
