About Book

Case Studies in War-to-Peace Transition is a detailed analysis of the challenges and strategies involved in the transition from conflict to peace, specifically focusing on Ethiopia, Namibia, and Uganda. This work, published by the World Bank in 1996, offers valuable insights into the political, economic, and sociocultural issues that arise during the demobilization and reintegration of former combatants in post-conflict settings. The book highlights a variety of models and programs for reintegration, shedding light on both successes and challenges faced by these countries. It also draws upon case studies from other nations to provide a broader perspective on war-to-peace transitions in Sub-Saharan Africa. By focusing on these regions, the authors—Nat J. Colletta, Markus Kostner, and Ingo Wiederhofer—provide important lessons for practitioners involved in post-conflict recovery and the reintegration of ex-combatants into society
