Gwinyayi Albert Dzinesa

Rethinking Political Violence Series editor Roger Mac Ginty Professor of Peace and Conflict Studies University of Manchester Manchester, United Kingdom “This book provides valuable and detailed insights into how in Namibia, South Africa and Zimbabwe some armed forces and armed opposition groups have been reduced or abolished since the 1980s, and the significant challenges and complex practices of supporting the reintegration of former combatants into civilian life. The similarities and differences in the processes are clearly analysed in the context of the liberation, peace and nation-building processes in the three countries.” —Kees Kingma, Independent Analyst on post-war rehabilitation and development and former Senior Social Development Specialist, World Bank, Washington DC, USA

This series provides a new space in which to interrogate and challenge much of the conventional wisdom of political violence. International and multidisciplinary in scope, this series explores the causes, types and effects of contemporary violence connecting key debates on terrorism, insurgency, civil war and peace-making. The timely Rethinking Political Violence offers a sustained and refreshing analysis reappraising some of the fundamental questions facing societies in conflict today and understanding attempts to ameliorate the effects of political violence.
