Rezensionen

"The book speaks to students, scholars, practitioners and human rights activists interested in the relationship between political violence, development and globalization. ... Scholars and students of civil war will find the book a theoretically sound and empirically rich source as it advances knowledge on a particularly relevant yet overlooked area in civil war studies through the lenses of critical theory and historical materialism." (Ervjola Selenica, Interdisciplinary Political Studies, Vol. 5 (1), 2019)
