【 摘 要 】

The two volumes of Understanding CivilWar build upon the World Bank's prior research onconflict and violence, particularly on the work of PaulCollier and Anke Hoeffler, whose model of civil war onsethas sparked much discussion on the relationship betweenconflict and development in what came to be known as the"greed" versus "grievance" debate. Theauthors systematically apply the Collier-Hoeffler model to15 countries in 6 different regions of the world, using acomparative case study methodology to revise and expand uponeconomic models of civil war. (The countries selected areBurundi, Congo, Democratic Republic of Congo, Nigeria,Kenya, Mozambique, Sudan, Algeria, Mali, Senegal, Indonesia,Lebanon, Russian Federation, Colombia, Northern Ireland,Bosnia-Herzegovina, Macedonia, and the Caucasus.) The bookconcludes that the "greed" versus"grievance" debate should be abandoned for a morecomplex model that considers greed and grievance asinextricably fused motives for civil war.
