Abstract
This volume has attempted to bring together academics, practitioners, policy makers and analysts across a wide spectrum to share their narratives and research findings on mode of child soldier recruitment, motivations behind children’s participation and their reintegration outcomes from a cross-cultural and cross-disciplinary perspective. These empirical cases and narratives were used to illustrate certain theoretical propositions that are developed in this work and to present a culturally sensitive, empirically rich and theoretically viable thesis on the nuances and functioning of reintegration processes for child soldiers in postwar transitions by relating these to their recruitment experiences and participation processes.
