Abstract

Making War and Building Peace. By Michael W. Doyle and Nicholas Sambanis. Princeton: Princeton University Press, 2006. 400p. $24.95.Sustainable Peace: Power and Democracy after Civil Wars.

Ithaca, NY: Cornell University Press, 2005. 392p. 19.95 paper.The two books discussed in this review address the same substantive question: How does one establish sustainable peace after civil war?
