While mediation, intervention, and peacekeeping have produced some positive results in helping to end civil wars, they fall short in preventing them in the first place. In \u003cem\u003eIncentivizing Peace\u003c\/em\u003e, Jaroslav Tir and Johannes Karreth show that considering civil wars from a developmental perspective presents opportunities to prevent the escalation of nascent armed conflicts into full-scale civil wars. The authors demonstrate that highly-structured intergovernmental organizations (IGOs such as the World Bank, IMF, or regional development banks) are particularly well-positioned to engage in civil war prevention. When such IGOs have been actively engaged in nations on the edge, their potent economic tools have helped to steer rebel-government interactions away from escalation and toward peaceful settlement. \u003cem\u003eIncentivizing Peace\u003c\/em\u003e provides enlightening case evidence that IGO participation is a key to better predicting, and thus preventing, the outbreak of civil war.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jaroslav Tir, Johannes Karreth\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0190699523\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780190699529\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/21\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2018","brand":"Jaroslav Tir","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44119397794047,"sku":"9780190699529","price":43.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f5521cf9-44d5-46fa-b3ce-d788ed4fdcf6.jpg?v=1687409134","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/incentivizing-peace-jaroslav-tir-9780190699529","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
