between recruitment experiences and reintegration outcomes for
child soldiers. It looks at time spent in the group, issues of
cohesion, identification, affiliation, membership and the post
demobilization experience of return, and resettlement.

A fundamental challenge plagues the global peacebuilding community.
How can technocratic approaches to peacebuilding that are rooted in
short-term, project-based execution of activities, further the
longer-term transformative outcomes like altering young people's
attitudes and beliefs about peace and violence? In response to this
global challenge, in Peacebuilding Legacy, Sukanya Podder analyzes
the long-term effects of peacebuilding programmes involving
children and young people. Podder unpacks the concept of
peacebuilding legacy through the lens of time, transformation, and
intergenerational peace. Podder also develops unique qualitative
cues for measuring legacy in terms of the institutional, normative,
and organizational logics. If norms resonate strongly with the
local context, they are likely to encourage strong retention and
meaningful adoption over time. Successful institutionalization of
project models through planned handover to successor national
organizations, or government departments, holds the key to stronger
local ownership. Organizational learning and reflection can support
this process through a more strategic approach to programming, and
through post-exit studies. Regarding attitude change, Podder found
that, the media and peace education projects that targeted
individuals' ingrained beliefs and values but overlooked the role
of group social norms had only limited persuasive effects. To shift
the values, practices, norms, and beliefs of the younger
generation, the mindset of the older generation must also be
targeted. Changes in the legal, political, economic, and other
social institutions are critical for long-term and meaningful
transformation. This requires adopting an ecological model of
peace.
