This book is worth perusing for students and academics who want to understand the various ways that Colombia's armed groups procure economic resources in order to fuel their struggles. However it does not do a sufficient job on the "greed versus grievance" debate, nor does it really encapsulate the importance of social movements or the effects of political inclusion and exclusion upon propelling groups to use non-democratic means in the first place. Some academics may find this book to be useful, especially those uninitiated to the Colombian conflict who study armed groups and security. Non-academics will find the book to be neither particularly interesting nor beneficial to understanding the complexity of the conflict...


Leaves to be desired

Another attempt by an outside oberserver to understand conflicts that are peculiar to South America and its political culture. Accordingly, the analysis does not grasp the intenal dynamics and psychology of the conflict. This book leaves much to be desired.


Excellent work
