What kind of peace is being created by peacebuilding and development processes? How is this peace experienced by local recepients? Is peace sustainable in the future? A welcome and well-crafted volume, Postconflict Development effectively addresses these questions."”Oliver Richmond, International Studies Review
"Addresses all the important topics linked to postconflict peacebuilding, with policy lessons/ prescriptions well illustrated by case studies. Postconflict Development will appeal to students, as well as to the academic community at large."”Carolyn Shaw, Wichita State University
With the proliferation of civil wars since the end of the Cold War, many developing countries now exist in a "postconflict" environment, posing enormous development challenges for the societies affected, as well as for international actors. Postconflict Development addresses these challenges in a range of vital sectors, security, justice, economic policy, education, the media, agriculture, health, and the environment, in countries around the globe.
The authors focus on the need to move beyond emergency relief to create new social and economic structures that can serve as the foundations for a lasting peace. Prosperity, the authors acknowledge, does not guarantee peace; but a lack of economic development will almost certainly lead to renewed violence. This conviction informs their thorough discussion of the policy dilemmas confronted in postconflict situations and a range of concrete, successful approaches to resolving them.
