Bøger af Patrick M. Regan

Regan argues that the militarisation of a society is a complex political and sociological phenomenon, that can generate a life of its own and which feeds on itself. He combines statistical and theoretical approaches with empirical analysis to develop a theory of the power of political symbolism.

Civil wars create regional and global instability that threatens economic initiatives and political continuity. Preventing civil wars is a challenge that the policy community is ill-equipped to handle. This book uses argument, evidence, and intuition born of experience to provide an account of civil wars and the steps we can take to reduce them.
