It raises the question of the effects of the war experience on ex-combatants with regards, in particular, to the perpetuation of a certain level of violence as well as the maintaining of structures, networks, and war methods after the war. The book considers various modalities of reintegration and analyzes how they are linked to resources, statuses, and sociabilities that were all built during the war. The various chapters of the book also analyze the role of policies that were made for war veterans, the way society welcomed them back, and the social and economic context "This edited volume deals with the reintegration and trajectories of intrastate or interstate war veterans.

Back to classical approaches of DDR, which are normative and prescriptive and focused on the short term, this book attempts to unpack postwar situations as complex inter-connections between political, social, and cultural dynamics. It also points out possible difficulties of exiting of the war violence."-- Provided by publisher Analysis disarmament, demobilization and reintegration DDR Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Subject Disarmament -- Case studies Armed Forces -- Demobilization -- Case studies Veterans -- Social conditions -- Case studies Postwar reconstruction -- Case studies Peace-building -- Case studies Military discharge -- Case studies Military veterans -- Chechnya -- Serbia -- Turkey -- Peru -- Ivory Coast.
