Zelizer, C and Ruinbstein, R., ed. Building Peace: Practical Reflections from the Field. : Kumarian, 2009.
Even though peacebuilding has rapidly expanded in the last two decades, the field has not effectively documented the impact of projects. To help address this gap, the Alliance for Peacebuilding, one of the leading networks in the field, has brought together 13 stories of innovative peacebuilding practices from around the world.
While the projects covered are diverse in nature, together they demonstrate the significant impact of peacebuilding. Contributors created new institutions to prevent and manage conflicts at the local or national levels, helped restore relationships in conflict-affected communities, and empowered citizens to work for positive change in their societies across ethnic, religious, and political divides.
It’s clear that there is no quick fix for violence but this volume will go a long way in providing inspiration and practical tools for policymakers, academics and practitioners who seek to make significant and valuable contributions towards achieving peace.
