How do we account for when and where civil wars are likely to occur  when and how they are likely to end  and whether or not they will recur? In this timely book  leading scholars guide us through what the latest research tells us about the onset  duration  outcomes  and recurrence of civil wars  as well as the ongoing consequences of conflicts in war-torn countries such as Syria  Sudan  and Rwanda. In mapping out the current state of our knowledge about civil conflicts  the authors also identify what we do not know about civil wars. The book describes new directions in civil-war research  including transitional justice institutions in post-conflict environments  the resource curse  the role of women  and the relationship between the environment and civil conflict. The authors also highlight new trends in civil-war data collection that have enabled scholars to examine the geographic and temporal patterns of armed conflict. This authoritative text offers both an accessible and current overview of current knowledge and an agenda for future research.  With contributions by Halvard Buhaug  David E.
