This collection explores conflict prevention through development projects when resources are scarce, and agreements between groups come under strain.

Civil-military relations are vital to the coherence and effectiveness of post-conflict peacebuilding, but have often been problematic.

Given the significance of the military footprint, the article presents trade-offs for policymakers intending to use military forces to make peace.
