An Introduction to Civil Wars provides a comprehensive overview of the civil wars that have taken place globally since World War II. The text opens with a discussion of the human and economic costs of civil war  and then systematically examines all aspects of civil wars: civil war patterns  types  and causes; the effect of natural resources; conflict duration  outcomes  and termination; peace agreements; counterinsurgency; terrorism; international intervention; and post-conflict issues. Author Karl DeRouen  Jr. draws on the latest empirical research and major theoretical debates and connects them to extended case studies of current conflict. Pedagogical features -- tables  figures  maps  photos  a comprehensive bibliography  lists of suggested readings  and an Appendix listing all civil wars since 1946 -- make the book an especially useful research tool for undergraduates and graduate students in political science and public policy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45647630139445,"sku":"ByrdShop_1452244324","price":70.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781452244327.jpg?v=1781696624","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/an-introduction-to-civil-wars-9781452244327","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
