   Abstract : This thesis aims to further our understanding of the political significance of everyday life in post-war Nepal.

4. 17. Dangerous Liaisons : Why Ex-Combatants Return to Violence. Cases from the Republic of Congo and Sierra Leone

   Author : R. Anders Nilsson; Thomas Ohlson; Kristine Höglund; Mats Hammarström; Joanna Spear; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; ex-combatants; reintegration; demobilization; DDR; conflict resolution; peacebuilding; civil wars; Republic of Congo; Sierra Leone; Peace and conflict research; Freds- och konfliktforskning;

   Abstract : After disarming and demobilizing, why do some ex-combatants re-engage in organized vio-lence, while others do not? Even though former fighters have been identified as a major source of insecurity in post-civil war societies due to their military know-how, there have been few efforts to systematically examine this puzzle. This study fills this research gap by comparing the presence or absence of organized violence in different ex-combatant communi-ties – all the former fighters that used to belong to the same armed faction and who share a common, horizontal identity based on shared war-and peacetime experiences.
