Reviews

'An important and original work ... essential reading for anyone who wishes to understand the dynamics of conflict and development in the 21st century' -- James Putzel, Professor of Development Studies and Director of the Crisis States Research Centre, London School of Economics


An important and original work. Schonwalder, Gutierrez and their colleagues challenge both advocates and opponents of neo-liberal reforms. The collection demonstrates that there is no simple equation linking economic liberalisation and political democratisation to either peace and development or war and state unravelling. This book is essential reading for anyone who wishes to understand the dynamics of conflict and development in the 21st century. -- James Putzel, Professor of Development Studies and Director of the Crisis States Research Centre, London School of Economics
