Summary:

"With the end of World War 2, and decolonization since 1950s, civil war and insurgencies have replaced inter-state wars as the main form of conflict. However, a fundamental question remains unanswered by theorists of civil war-do historical institutions play a role in creating conditions for civil wars and insurgencies? Are there deeper processes of state formation, so far ignored by scholars of civil war, that have created structural and ethnic fault lines within states which have erupted into ethnic conflict and rebellion within states in recent years? In contrast to the scholarship on civil wars which tend to focus on proximate causes of insurgency and rebellion, this book proposes that many insurgencies around the world have origins in deep historical institutions and processes"-- Provided by publisher
