I never intended this to be of a real academic nature, but just a sort of quick, more journalistic synthesis of available knowledge, as an introduction to the case studies that are based on my fieldwork findings. Indeed, the ideas represented in pieces I & II are not of my own, but drawn from a variety of academic sources, the most important of which are the following: <br /><br />AUTESSERRE, S., 2010. The Trouble with the Congo. Local Violence and the Failure of International Peacebuilding. New York: Cambridge University Press<br /><br />DE GOEDE, M., 2007., The Price for Peace in the Congo: The Incorporation of the Political Economy of War in the State and Governance System.
