Book review: Demobilizing irregular forces

Demobilizing Irregular Forces is one of the first comprehensive introductions to the process of disarmament, demobilization and reintegration (DDR) in the contemporary world. Examining regions as varied as Africa, Asia and Central America, it guides readers through the different stages of the DDR process as well as assessing competing perspectives surrounding its implementation. Ryan Evans finds an elegant read that will appeal to students and practitioners looking for material outside of the standard reading.
