As recent events demonstrate, violence, especially ethnic violence, is exceptionally hard to extinguish. Ceasefires almost never bring a complete end to the killing, and formal peace agreements are more often than not undone by men unwilling to forsake the gun. As John Darby argues in this original, holistic, and comparative treatment of the subject, 'even when political violence is ended by a ceasefire, it reappears in other forms to threaten the evolving peace process.'Unlike most scholars, Darby focuses on peace processes that have involved actors other than the United Nations. He analyzes the nature and impact of four interrelated kinds of violence: violence by the state, violence by militants, violence in the community, and the emergence of new violencerelated issues during negotiations. For each kind of violence, the author draws out the policy implications, suggesting how the 'guardians' of the peace process can defeat wouldbe spoilers and change a culture of violence. The volume concludes by distilling five propositions on the relationship between violence and peace processes.Insightful, concise, and highly readable, the book will engage the scholar, inspire the policymaker, and inform the student. Indepth profiles of the five featured cases (Northern Ireland, South Africa, Sri Lanka, IsraelPalestine, and the Basque country) provide ample background and enrich understanding.
