About the Book

Peacebuilding and Reconciliation brings together a number of critical essays from members of the renowned Centre for Peace & Reconciliation Studies. This highly topical book covers the latest developments and issues in the discipline of peacebuilding and reconciliation, using different global case studies of societies experiencing or emerging out of violent conflict. It brings together a range of scholars, including many from the global south, who provide fresh perspectives and insights based on their experience of living and working in conflict situations. The book connects theory and practice, drawing both on academic research and direct experience of conflict situations, and explores how to meet the challenges involved in peacebuilding and reconciliation. Peacebuilding and Reconciliation is a cutting-edge collection ideal for students and academics in peace studies, development studies and international relations.

Review :
Using case studies from countries like Canada, Northern Ireland, Israel/Palestine, Afghanistan, Kosovo, Nepal, Ethiopia, Sierra Leone and the Democratic Republic of Congo, the authors share their experiences and articulate a range of issues which are central to conflict transformation and peace building. This is a useful resource for academics and civil society organisations. -- Dr. Deusdedit R.K Nkurunziza, Makerere University, Uganda Each chapter is fascinating, engaging with the detailed complexity and special features of conflict situations and attempts to build peace, and applying an extensive literature. In combination the chapters provide a valuable representative sample of responses to conflict, together with critical reflection on attempts at peacebuilding and reconciliation. -- Gordon Burt, Chair of the Conflict Research Society Combining direct personal experience with clear theoretical understanding in a range of practical examples, the authors of this book, many from the "global south", seek to show how sustainable peace can best be promoted even in the most war-torn countries. They succeed admirably. This is an invaluable resource for scholars and practitioners alike. -- Professor Oliver Ramsbotham, Centre for Conflict Resolution, Department of Peace Studies, University of Bradford
