This Volume Explains The Processes Involved In Young People's Participation In Civil Conflict. It Seeks To Define The Course Of Children's Lives In War Zones And Highlights The Connections And Impacts Of Recruitment, Socialization, Training And Indoctrination In Rebel Groups. The Authors Show How Immersion Into The Fighter's World Is A Disjuncture In The 'normal' Pre-ware Life Of Children And How This Influences Post Conflict Return And Reintegration. One Of The Key Lessons Drawn Is The Need To Undermine Stereotypes And Give Young People A Voice To Articulate Their Compulsions, Motivations And Choices. Moreover, The Contributors Point Out The Importance Of Breaking The Exclusive Division Between Child/adult And Combatant/civilian. While Issues Of Recruitment Have Received Considerable Academic Attention, This Contribution Is One Of The First To Take Into Account The Successful Reintegration And Transition To Civilian Identity--provided By Publisher.

This book examines the complex and under-researched relationship between recruitment experiences and reintegration outcomes for child soldiers. It looks at time spent in the group, issues of cohesion, identification, affiliation, membership and the post demobilization experience of return, and resettlement. This volume explains the processes involved in young people's participation in civil conflict. It seeks to define the course of children's lives in war zones and highlights the connections and impacts of recruitment, socialization, training and indoctrination in rebel groups. The authors show how immersion into the fighter's world is a disjuncture in the 'normal' pre-ware life of children and how this influences post conflict return and reintegration. One of the key lessons drawn is the need to undermine stereotypes and give young people a voice to articulate their compulsions, motivations and choices. Moreover, the contributors point out the importance of breaking the exclusive division between child/adult and combatant/civilian. While issues of recruitment have received considerable academic attention, this contribution is one of the first to take into account the successful reintegration and transition to civilian identity
