Post-Conflict Peacebuilding comes at a critical time for
post-conflict peace building. Its rapid move towards the top of the
international political agenda has been accompanied by added
scrutiny, as the international community seeks to meet the
multi-dimensional challenges of building a just and sustainable
peace in societies ravaged by war. Beyond the strictly operational
dimension, there is considerable ambiguity in the concepts and
terminology used to discuss post-conflict peacebuilding. This
ambiguity undermines efforts to agree on common understandings of
how peace can be most effectively 'built', thereby impeding swift,
coherent action. Accordingly, this lexicon aims to clarify and
illuminate the multiple facets of post-conflict peacebuilding, by
presenting its major themes and trends from an analytical
perspective.
To this end, the book opens with a general introduction on the
concept of post-conflict peacebuilding, followed by twenty-six
essays on its key elements (including capacity-building, conflict
transformation, reconciliation, recovery, rule of law, security
sector reform, and transitional justice). Written by international
experts from a range of disciplines, including political science
and international relations, international law, economics, and
sociology, these essays cover the whole spectrum of post-conflict
peacebuilding. In reflecting a diversity of perspectives the
lexicon sheds light on many different challenges associated with
post-conflict peacebuilding. For each key concept a generic
definition is proposed, which is then expanded through discussion
of three main areas: the meaning and origin of the concept; its
content and essential components; and its means of implementation,
including lessons learned from past practice.
