Arranged On The Natural System. Preceded By A Linnaean And A
Dichotomous Analysis.
During the 1990s, optimism abounded because international violence
was in decline. The number of armed conflicts decreased worldwide
from more than fifty in the early 1990s to fewer than thirty a
decade later. This drop resulted largely from negotiations leading
to peace accords. However, in a disturbingly large number of
places, war was actually succeeded not by peace but by a stalemate.
Peace accords were plagued by problems, including economic
hardship, burgeoning crime, postwar trauma, and persistent fear and
suspicion. Too often, negotiated settlements merely opened another
difficult chapter in the peace process, or worse, led to new phases
of conflict. This disappointing record is the subject of a
multiyear project conducted by the University of Notre Dame's
Research Initiative on the Resolution of Ethnic Conflict (RIREC).
Located at the Joan B. Kroc Institute for International Peace
Studies, RIREC explored three significant challenges of the postwar
landscape: the effects of violence in internal conflicts after
peace agreements have been signed; the contributions of
truth-telling mechanisms; and the multidimensional roles played by
youth as activists, soldiers, criminals, and community-builders.
The project led to the 2006 publication of three edited volumes by
the University of Notre Dame Press: John Darby's Violence and
Reconstruction; Tristan Anne Borer's Telling the Truths: Truth
Telling and Peace Building in Post-Conflict Societies; and Siobhan
McEvoy-Levy's Troublemakers or Peacemakers? Youth and Post-Accord
Peace Building. In Peacebuilding After Peace Accords, the three
editors revisit the topics presented in their books. They examine
the dilemmas each of the three challenges presents for postwar
reconstruction and the difficulties in building a sustainable peace
in societies recently destabilized by deadly violence. The authors
argue that researchers and practitioners should pay greater
attention to these challenges, especially how they relate to each
other and to different post-accord problems. A foreword by
Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu sets the context for this volume,
and an afterword by Eileen Babbitt reflects on its findings.
