In practice, however, very little is known about what works, and what doesn't work, in bringing together former opponents to build a lasting peace.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContributors to this volume assess why some civil wars result in successful military integration while others dissolve into further strife, factionalism, and even renewed civil war. Eleven cases are studied in detail-Sudan, Zimbabwe, Lebanon, Rwanda, the Philippines, South Africa, Mozambique, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Sierra Leone, Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Burundi-while other chapters compare military integration with corporate mergers and discuss some of the hidden costs and risks of merging military forces. \u003ci\u003eNew Armies from Old\u003c\/i\u003e fills a serious gap in our understanding of civil wars, their possible resolution, and how to promote lasting peace, and will be of interest to scholars and students of conflict resolution, international affairs, and peace and security studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Roy Licklider\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1626160430\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781626160439\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Georgetown University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/15\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.17lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.08h x 6.00w x 0.83d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2015 pg. 889","brand":"Roy Licklider","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44125082878207,"sku":"9781626160439","price":59.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_39392339-58ab-4612-af5f-f52af876abb7.jpg?v=1687440541","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/new-armies-from-old-roy-licklider-9781626160439","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
