Based on a study of every intrastate war settlement between 1980 and 1998 in which international actors played a key role, Ending Civil Wars is the most comprehensive, systematic study to date of the implementation of peace agreements—of what happens after the treaties are signed. Covering both broad strategies and specific tasks and presenting a wealth of rich case material, the authors find that failure most often is related not only to the inherent difficulty of a particular case, but also to the major powers' perception that they have no vital security interest in ending a civil war.
"An excellent book that cumulates and advances theory while it offers policy relevant findings and recommendations.... A remarkable publication."—Thomas Ohlson, International Studies Review
"A model of rigorous analysis that yields usable—if sobering—knowledge."—Foreign Affairs
