Opis: How Civil Wars Start - Barbara F. Walter
Most of us don't know it, but we are living in the world's greatest era
of civil wars. While violence has declined worldwide, civil wars have
increased. This is a new phenomenon. With the exception of a handful of
cases - the American and English civil wars, the French Revolution -
historically it has been rare for people to organise and fight their
governments.
This has changed. Since 1946, over 250 armed conflicts have broken out
around the world, a number that continues to rise. Major civil wars are
now being fought in countries including Iraq, Syria and Libya. Smaller
civil wars are being fought in Ukraine, India, and Malaysia. Even
countries we thought could never experience another civil war - such as
the USA, Sweden and Ireland - are showing signs of unrest.
In How Civil Wars Start, acclaimed expert Barbara F. Walter, who has
advised on political violence everywhere from the CIA to the U.S. Senate
to the United Nations, explains the rise of civil war and the conditions
that create it. As democracies across the world backslide and citizens
become more polarised, civil wars will become even more widespread and
last longer than they have in the past. This urgent and important book
shows us a path back toward peace.
