Opis

In recent years, an increasing amount of research has argued that the successful transformation of rebel organization into parties is critical to stable post-conflict peace and democratization. However, this process is not well understood. This volume brings together some of the most notable scholars in the field to discuss questions around the issue. This book was originally published as a special issue of Democratization.
