In the face of the rapid spread of the conflict, journalists, politicians, and academics alike have struggled to account for its origins. In this first comprehensive account of the country's recent upheaval, Louisa Lombard shows the limits of the superficial explanations offered thus far - that the violence has been due to a religious divide, or politicians' manipulations, or profiteering. Instead, she shows that conflict has long been useful to Central African politics, a tendency that has been exacerbated by the international community's method of engagement with so-called fragile states. Furthermore, changing this state of affairs will require rethinking the relationships of all those present - rebel groups and politicians, as well as international interveners and diplomats. An urgent insight into this little-understood country and the problems with peacebuilding more broadly."--Publisher. 410 0$aAfrican arguments. 517 3 $aViolence and intervention in the Central African Republic 606 $aViolence$zCentral African Republic 606 $aPeace-building$zCentral African Republic 606 $aArmed conflict$2bicssc 607 $aCentral African Republic$xPolitics and government 607 $aCentral African Republic$xSocial conditions 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aViolence 615 0$aPeace-building 615 7$aArmed conflict 676 $a967.41 700 $aLombard$b Louisa$01221836 712 02$aInternational African Institute. 712 02$aRoyal African Society. 712 02$aWorld Peace Foundation. 801 0$bYDXCP 801 1$bCaBNVSL 801 2$bCaBNVSL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910154890603321 996 $aState of rebellion$92833284 997 $aUNINA
