When the guns are silenced, those who have survived armed conflict
need food, water, shelter, the means to earn a living, and the
promise of safety and a return to civil order. Meeting these needs
while sustaining peace requires more than simply having
governmental structures in place; it requires good governance.
Natural resources are essential to sustaining people and peace in
post-conflict countries, but governance failures often jeopardize
such efforts. This book examines the theory, practice, and often
surprising realities of post-conflict governance, natural resource
management, and peacebuilding in fifty conflict-affected countries
and territories. It includes thirty-nine chapters written by more
than seventy researchers, diplomats, military personnel, and
practitioners from governmental, intergovernmental, and
nongovernmental organizations. The book highlights the mutually
reinforcing relationship between natural resource management and
good governance. Natural resource management is crucial to
rebuilding governance and the rule of law, combating corruption,
improving transparency and accountability, engaging disenfranchised
populations, and building confidence after conflict. At the same
time, good governance is essential for ensuring that natural
resource management can meet immediate needs for post-conflict
stability and development, while simultaneously laying the
foundation for a sustainable peace. Drawing on analyses of the
close relationship between governance and natural resource
management, the book explores lessons from past conflicts and
ongoing reconstruction efforts; illustrates how those lessons may
be applied to the formulation and implementation of more effective
governance initiatives; and presents an emerging theoretical and
practical framework for policy makers, researchers, practitioners,
and students. Governance, Natural Resources, and Post-Conflict
Peacebuilding is part of a global initiative to identify and
analyze lessons in post-conflict peacebuilding and natural resource
management. The project has generated six books of case studies and
analyses, with contributions from practitioners, policy makers, and
researchers. Other books in this series address high-value
resources, land, water, livelihoods, and assessing and restoring
natural resources.
