Peacebuilding

In: SAGE library of international relations

Abstract

This new work showcases the main debates and controversies associated with peacebuilding. In particular, it seeks to go beyond a simple explanation of peacebuilding institutions and projects to unpack the ideas and ideologies that underpin the subject. Recent years have seen significant successes and failures in peacebuilding, reforms among international organisations, and increased prominence awarded to local peacebuilding actors. The articles in this major work capture these changes and collectively present a state-of-the-art account of contemporary peacebuilding
