GREED AND GRIEVANCE Economic Agendas in Civil Wars Edited by Mats Berdal and David M. Malone Lynne Rienner/IDRC 2000 ISBN 978-1-55587-868-9 e-ISBN 978-1-55250-421-5 260 pp.   
Current scholarship on civil wars and transitions from war to peace has made significant progress in understanding the political dimensions of internal conflict. However, the economic motivations spurring political violence have been comparatively neglected. This pathbreaking book identifies the economic and social factors underlying the perpetuation of civil wars, exploring as well the economic incentives and disincentives available to international actors seeking to restore peace to war-torn societies. The authors consider the economic rationality of conflict for belligerents, the economic strategies that elites use to sustain their position, and in what situations elites find war to be more profitable that peace. Throughout, the authors strive consistently for policy relevance in both their analysis and their prescriptions. THE AUTHORS Mats Berdal is Research Fellow at St Anthony's College, Oxford University, Oxford, UK. David M. Malone is President of the International Peace Academy, New York, NY, USA (now President of IDRC).
