Opis

Militias have proven to be a consistent and enduring challenge to achieving peace in war zones around the world. This book argues that the overly rigid 'cookie-cutter' approach to demilitaristation, developed and commonly implemented presently by the international community, is ineffective at meeting the myriad of challenges involving militias.
