Breaking Cycles of Violence: Conflict Prevention in Intrastate Crises

This timely book studies how to target and prioritize resources in societies at immediate risk for violent conflict. The text develops guidelines, illustrated in the cases of Burundi and Macedonia, for assessing the causes of conflict through early warning indicators, while presenting multidimensional strategies to transform them. Preventative action is seen as a means to contain conflicts and rehabilitate societies throughout the escalation, violence, and post-conflict cycle.
