The world is now characterized by a number of regions in which internal violence and conflict stubbornly persist. While the longer term consequences of the destruction of the World Trade Center on September 11 and the war on terrorism which the USA and other countries have embarked on in response are not clear, there is a real danger that the number of cases where ordered government and a functioning economy collapse may increase. The contributors to this volume explore the nature of these deeply rooted structures of violence and why domestic and international efforts to re-establish order, human security, democratic processes, and an economy capable of developing, are proving so difficult to achieve.
