"This is a well-structured sampler of relevant insights into the methodological issues involved in designing and carrying out evaluations of intervention in conflict situations. The discussion of the main theoretical challenges, complemented with the illustrations of a diverse setting of cases, allows the reader to comprehend the theoretical and practical complexities of undertaking these analyses.
