Comprendre et limiter les violences : une présentation

Jean Cartier-Bresson — Understanding and limiting violence : A presentation A new understanding of violent internal conflicts has emerged form the initiatives of numerous researchers in international relations. It stresses the ethnic character of the conflicts and their economic objectives (looting). As an aggregate of crimes and homicides in third world countries, the theme amounts to a new agenda for security. In the light of various contributions, this presentation challenges the dominant view and attempts to clarify the basis of debates on the causes and consequences of violence, as well as the means to reduce it.Cartier-Bresson Jean.
