Confronting Peace: Local Peacebuilding in Wake of a National Peace Agreement

This book focuses on the processes and consequences of the relationship between a national peace agreement and local peacebuilding efforts. The chapters provide analyse specific case studies in Africa, South East Asia and Latin America, as well as conceptual chapters that cover important overarching issues, such as the complex transition involved in conflict transformations from destructive, often violent, conflict relations into more constructive and peaceful relations, and the interconnectedness of conflicts, particularly connections between different scales of relations, is a primary matter of attention. Essential reading for students and scholars of Peace and Conflict Studies, International Relations, Political Science, Sociology, Latin American and African Area Studies.
