Riassunto

Since 1989, 'comprehensive political settlements' aimed at ending longstanding internal conflicts in Central America, parts of Africa, and South-East Asia, have all included detailed provisions concerning the disarmament and demobilization of rebel and government forces. Through various forms of weapons control, attempts have also been made to deny demobilized forces the ability to resume fighting. In some instances, UN sponsored plans have also envisaged the formation of unified armed and police forces.  Attempts at large-scale demobilization however have been largely unsuccessful. This depressing record provides the background for this book which examines critically the range of issues associated with disarming, demobilizing and reintegrating military forces into society after prolonged periods of civil war. The book derives lessons from recent failures, and assesses alternative strategies along with their institutional, political, and operational requirements. It focuses particularly on the United Nations and the manner in which it has sought to deal with the above problems.

Recensione

'This is a detailed and insightful essay ... That the author succeeds so well is partly a function of the depth and breadth of knowledge that he brings to bear in his analysis ... the paper is wide ranging, thoroughly researched and sensitive to the nuances, both intellectual and political, that discussion of demilitarization has to confront ... Those in search of a knowledgeable analysis of a complex issue that attempts to produce a guide for future action, will find this an important contribution to the subject area.' - Neil Cooper, International Peacekeeping
