| Abstract |
"What makes the contemporary challenge posed by civil wars different to that of past periods? Why have they been so frequent in the period since the Second World War? What--if anything--is different about the the experience of civil war at the dawn of the twenty-first century? And what insights from the past, going back to the ancient Greeks, add to our understanding of this tragic phenomenon?"-- Provided by publisher. |
