The new contributions in this book, by acknowledged leaders in the
field, examine the delivery of effective aid under fire, and
securing the peace in environments where governance is fragile.
They bridge the cultural divide between the security and
development professions at a time of unprecedented global economic
integration, geopolitical turbulence, and novel threats to
international peace and security. More than a billion people live
in countries where governance is weak, poverty is rampant, and
economies are depressed. Failed and frail states provide ideal
breeding grounds for civil strife, criminality, and "new wars" that
target civilians, use children as combatants, and commit massive
human rights violations. The new security risks loom within
national borders, while the capacity of the international community
to intervene 'behind borders' remains inadequate. Policy making for
security still relies heavily on military responses. Yet military
responses cannot address, and may even worsen, the social and
cultural antecedents of civil strife and social resentment.
Similarly, development aid policy and practice are poorly adapted
to the new realities of frail governance and insecure operating
environments in aid recipient countries. This book was previously
published as a special issue of the leading journal Conflict,
Security and Development.
