This book explores the processes of pacification that led to the end of tribal warfare in seven societies across the globe between the 19th and 21st centuries. It emphasizes that pacification cannot be solely attributed to unilateral state control but requires a nuanced understanding of the complex interactions between state actors and local non-state groups. Indigenous groups typically possessed the autonomy to choose whether to accept or resist state control. State actors often had to make concessions or form alliances with indigenous groups to achieve their objectives. Incentives offered to local groups played a significant role in ending warfare, sometimes surpassing the use of repression. By engaging in these interactions, indigenous groups significantly influenced the nature and outcome of the pacification process.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe comparison conducted in this volume reveals that pacification is more effective and enduring when state actors prioritize selective incentives for local groups to renounce warfare, provide protection, and resort to moderate repression only as a last resort. Additionally, the swift establishment of robust institutions for peaceful conflict settlement is crucial in fostering lasting peace.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis study highlights the importance of recognizing and respecting the agency and autonomy of indigenous groups in the process of pacification. It underscores the need for state actors to engage in constructive dialogue and collaboration with these groups to achieve long-term stability and peace. By adopting a holistic approach that considers the unique cultural, social, and political dynamics of each society, nations can strive towards a world where conflicts are resolved through dialogue, cooperation, and respect for human rights.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 517g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 229 x 152 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780367520434\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44104120795386,"sku":"9780367520434","price":44.88,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1665190879990_book.jpg?v=1665595315","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/the-ending-of-tribal-wars-configurations-and-processes-of-pacification-9780367520434","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
