What motivates individuals to take up arms against their government? What types of states have historically been more prone to internal conflicts? In Civil Wars: Internal Struggles, Global Consequences Marie Olson Lounsbery and Frederic Pearson explore these questions and present a comprehensive analysis of the causes, consequences, and management potential regarding civil wars throughout the world.
Marie Olson Lounsbery is Assistant Professor of Political Science at East Carolina University. She pioneered approaches to teaching about civil wars and is the author of several articles on civil war and conflict resolution. She has been involved in several research projects examining the causes and resolution of civil wars and ethnopolitical violence.
Frederic Pearson is the Director of the Center for Peace and Conflict Studies and Professor of Political Science at Wayne State University. He is the author of The Global Spread of Arms (Westview, 1994), Arms and Warfare (University of South Carolina Press, 1994), and Arms and Ethnic Conflict (Rowman and Littlefield, 2001). In addition, he has twice been a Fulbright Scholar and had served as consultant to the US Commission on National Security.
