This open access book responds to the urgent need to improve how we
prevent and resolve conflict. It introduces Adaptive Peacebuilding
through evidence-based research from eight case studies across
Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America. It also considers
how China and Japan view and practice peacebuilding. The book
focuses on how peacebuilders design, implement and evaluate
programs to sustain peace, how interactions between external and
local actors have facilitated or hindered peacemaking, and how
adaptation to complexity and uncertainty occurred in each case
study.

This open access book introduces adaptive mediation as an
alternative approach that enables mediators to go beyond liberal
peace mediation, or other determined-design models of mediation, in
the context of contemporary conflict resolution and peace-making
initiatives. Adaptive mediation is grounded in complexity theory,
and is specifically designed to cope with highly dynamic conflict
situations characterized by uncertainty and a lack of
predictability. It is also a facilitated mediation process whereby
the content of agreements emerges from the parties to the conflict
themselves, informed by the context within which the conflict is
situated. This book presents the core principles and practices of
adaptive mediation in conjunction with empirical evidence from four
diverse case studies - Colombia, Mozambique, The Philippines, and
Syria - with a view to generate recommendations for how mediators
can apply adaptive mediation approaches to resolve and transform
contemporary and future armed conflicts.

This book reveals how the idea of human security, combined with
other human-centric norms, has been embraced, criticized, modified
and diffused in East Asia (ASEAN Plus Three). Once we zoom in to
the regional space of East Asia, we can see a kaleidoscopic
diversity of human security stakeholders and their values. Asian
stakeholders are willing to engage in the cultural interpretation
and contextualization of human security, underlining the importance
of human dignity in addition to freedom from fear and from want.
This dignity element, together with national ownership, may be the
most important values added in the Asian version of human security.
