<br/><br/> "Ethnic tensions and ancient political feuds are not starting civil wars around the world. A groundbreaking new study of civil conflict over the last 40 years reveals that economic forces--such as entrenched poverty and the trade in natural resources--are the true culprits. The solution? Curb rebel financing, jump-start economic growth in vulnerable regions, and provide a robust military presence in nations emerging from conflict." (FOREIGN POLICY) This article identifies factors that make countries at-risk for civil strife and suggests that "when the world's leaders can identify the real factors most likely to drive such conflicts, they will have a better chance of preventing future wars."
