Robbers or rebels? – Understanding the role of greed and grievance in fragile societies

On 28 January 2011, Dr Sylvester Bongani Maphosa (AISA Chief Research Specialist) delivered a paper on the aforementioned topic and his argument was largely from a condensation of field research on social entrepreneurship and reconciliation in Burundi as well as from extensive field knowledge and review of academic literature. His paper talks to theoretical analysis of rebellion in fragile communities. His focus was based on the design, data collection and analysis experience of the study that made use of exploratory interpretive mixed methods research paradigms.
