Conflict and Development

There is increasing policy and academic awareness of the considerable relationship between conflicts and development. Developmental factors and inequalities can trigger violence, but can also be imperative in ending conflicts and helping societies with reconstruction and reconciliation. This second edition has been fully updated and explores the complexity of the links between violent conflict (including civil wars) and development, underdevelopment, de-development and uneven development. By emphasizing the connections between stable developed economies and civil wars in other parts of the world, Conflict and Development examines how structural factors (such as the organization of the global economy) can be seen to have virtually condemned some regions to conflict and underdevelopment.

An invaluable introductory text, the book attempts to respond to a number of critical, persisting and challenging concerns. The most important of these is power: who holds it, how did they acquire it and can it be taken from them? Mindful of the power that academics and policymakers have to overwrite the experiences of those in conflict and development contexts, Mac Ginty and Williams strive to consider these issues from the local perspective, focusing on the on-the-ground experiences of communities populations that often see peacebuilding and development as something that is done to them. This book attempts to write people in, bringing the human element, and indeed the human cost, into explanations of conflict, peace and development.

Accessible, interesting and policy relevant, Conflict and Development is the essential resource for undergraduates looking to better understand the difficult and almost always complex relationships between armed conflict and development. Drawing on contemporary theoretical debates and examining current policies and recent events, the book considers how sustainable existing governmental and NGO guidelines are for peacemaking, peacebuilding and post-war reconstruction efforts. The text is illuminated throughout with case studies drawn from Africa, the Balkans, Asia and the Middle East.

Roger Mac Ginty is Professor of Peace and Conflict Studies at the University of Manchester. He edits the journal Peacebuilding, and is editor of The Routledge Handbook of Peacebuilding and (with Jenny Peterson) The Routledge Companion to Humanitarian Action. He has conducted extensive field research in conflict-affected countries, and his latest monograph is International Peacebuilding and Local Resistance: Hybrid forms of peace.

Andrew Williams is Professor of International Relations, University of St Andrews. He specializes in the study of conflict and international history. His main research interests include international conflict resolution, international history and international organization. He has had a great deal of experience of the practice of conflict resolution and has worked as a consultant for United Nations organizations including UNDP and UNITAR. He has published widely in key journals. His book Liberalism and War was published by Routledge in 2006.

Routledge Perspectives on Development

Series Editor: Professor Tony Binns, University of Otago

Since it was established in 2000, the same year as the Millennium Development Goals were set by the United Nations, the Routledge Perspectives on Development series has become the pre-eminent international textbook series on key development issues. Written by leading authors in their fields, the books have been popular with academics and students working in disciplines such as anthropology, economics, geography, international relations, politics and sociology. The series has also proved to be of particular interest to those working in interdisciplinary fields, such as area studies (African, Asian and Latin American studies), development studies, environmental studies, peace and conflict studies, rural and urban studies, travel and tourism.

If you would like to submit a book proposal for the series, please contact the Series Editor, Tony Binns, on: jab@geography.otago.ac.nz.
