Horizontal Inequalities and Post-Conflict Development

Book Review

Langer, Arnim; Frances Stewart & Rajesh Venugopal (2013) Review of Review of Gudrun Østby, ed., Horizontal Inequalities and Post-Conflict Development, in Journal of Peace Research 50(3): 429–430.

This volume attempts – and largely succeeds – to fill that gap.​
