Lombard Louisa - State Of Rebellion Violence And Intervention In The Central African Republic - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: Shortlisted for the Fage and Oliver Prize 2018 In 2013, the Central African Republic was engulfed by violence. In the face of the rapid spread of the conflict journalists politicians and academics alike have struggled to account for its origins. In this first comprehensive account of the country's recent upheaval Louisa Lombard shows the limits of the superficial explanations offered thus far that the violence has been due to a religious divide or politicians manipulations or profiteering. Instead she shows that conflict has long been useful to Central African politics a tendency that has been exacerbated by the international community's method of engagement with so - called fragile states. Furthermore changing this state of affairs will require rethinking the relationships of all those present rebel groups and politicians as well as international interveners and diplomats. State of Rebellion is an urgent insight into this little - understood country and the problems with peacebuilding more broadly.
