Reviews
This is the first comprehensive book on post-conflict violence in Indonesia...The title perfectly tells what the book does. Barron eloquently explains when violence works by systematically identifying two local actors (local violence specialists and local politicians) and their involvements in violence. The book explains why, how and in what circumstances different scales of post-conflict violence emerge., When Violence Works is an impressive book on multiple levels. Its theoretical sophistication will appeal to theorists in political science and peace studies. While its presentation of detailed case studies on post-conflict regions in Indonesia will be of great interest to scholars working in Southeast Asia., Does peace obtain after civil war or big riots? This book explains why, after big conflict, small violence persists. It concentrates on Indonesia, a country which has not played a big role in ethnic conflict literature, though it certainly should. When Violence Works is a noteworthy contribution., Judging from the informative stories that Barron uses to illustrate his analysis, primal hatreds still fuel conflict and do not yield easily to institutional fixes.

Synopsis
Why are some places successful in moving from war to consolidated peace while others continue to be troubled by violence? And why does postconflict violence take different forms and have different intensities? By developing a new theory of postconflict violence Patrick Barron's When Violence Works makes a significant contribution to our understanding. Barron picks out three postconflict regions in Indonesia in which to analyze what happens once the "official" fighting ends: North Maluku has seen peace consolidated; Maluku still witnesses large episodes of violence; and Aceh experiences continuing occurrences of violence but on a smaller scale than in Maluku. He argues that violence after war has ended (revenge killings, sexual violence, gang battles, and violent crime, in addition to overtly political conflict) is not the result of failed elite bargains or weak states, but occurs because the actors involved see it as beneficial and lowcost. His findings pertain directly to Indonesia, but the theory will have relevance far beyond as those studying countries such as Colombia, the Philippines, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Syria seek a framework in which to assess what happens after war ends. Barron's theory also provides practical guidance for policymakers and development practitioners. Ultimately, When Violence Works pushes forward our understanding of why postconflict violence occurs and takes the forms it does., Why are some places successful in moving from war to consolidated peace while others continue to be troubled by violence?
