Preventing violent conflicts and establishing comprehensive lasting
peace in some of the world’s most turbulent regions has
become the new global imperative. But to be effective,
peacebuilding must be a multilateral, not a unilateral process.
Even for the world’s sole surviving superpower, promoting and
sustaining durable peace requires communication, co-ordination,
co-operation, and collaboration between local, national and
international actors, nongovernmental as well as governmental.
In this book, Dennis Sandole explores the theory and practice of
peacebuilding, discussing the differences and similarities between
core aspects of peace processes, namely violent conflict
prevention; conflict management; conflict settlement; conflict
resolution and conflict transformation. Assuming no prior knowledge
on the part of the student reader, the volume distinguishes between
proactive and reactive peacebuilding as strategies to pre-empt or
otherwise respond to global problems, such as identity conflicts,
failing/failed states, terrorism, pandemics, poverty, forced
migrations, climate change, ecological degradation, and their
combined effects. Drawing on a wide range of conflicts such as
Bosnia-Herzegovina, Cambodia, East Timor, Haiti, South Africa and
Macedonia, the book debates the ‘lessons learned’ from past
experiences of reactive as well as proactive peacebuilding, plus
the challenges which lie ahead for those striving to bring about
sustainable peace, security and stability to war-torn or otherwise
fragile regions of the globe.
