About
This academic volume presents to readers a new framework to analyse violent conflict and its impact on local institutional and development processes. With its accessible layout, original data and fresh insight, this book is essential reading and reference for students, scholars, policy-makers and policy analysts alike.Violent conflicts affect the lives of 1.5 billion people every year across the world; however until now there has been limitedinformation on how people live in the context of conflict and the daily decisions they make. This volume makes the argument that the behaviour and motivation of these individuals, the way people interrelate in groups and communities and their links to institutional organisation and transformation are at thecentre of how we understand the complex dynamic links between conflict, violence and development. By providing, for the first time, rigorous data on these 'micro-foundations' of conflict, one can identify factors leading to the success or failure of conflict prevention measures, and improve options for conflict mediation and resolution, as well as design more accurate and relevant policies for post-conflict development.
