| Synopsis: |
One of the most serious problems confronting post-conflict environments today is the role of armed groups and militias. Whether armed by embattled governments in defence of their territory or fostered by external actors in the interests of greed or grievance, these groups occupy an uncertain and deeply controversial position in the changing landscape of conflict. Linked variously to atrocities against civilians or international criminal elements, part of what distinguishes them from more traditional combatants is their willingness to engage in violent tactics that defy international norms as well as a proclivity to embrace expediency in alliance-making. As such, conventional approaches to conflict resolution are singularly inadequate in dealing with such forces and the enduring effect that they have on post-conflict situations. Featuring in-depth case studies from DRC, Sudan, Afghanistan and Timor-Leste, "Militias and Armed Groups" explores and contextualizes the groups operating in these post-conflict environments. In doing so, it proposes a radical new framework for demilitarization that questions conventional models and takes into account on-the-ground realities. |
