Transition to Peace : Between Norms and Practice

This book enhances our understanding of how societies torn by violence can be rebuilt.

Instabilities in those societies continue to be fuelled by political marginalization, economic-social inequality, violent crimes, and injustice.

Historically, international response has been largely inadequate due to a failure of adaptation to local circumstances.

This collection focuses on how peacebuilding programmes can be more effectively carried out to create a more functional society.

In a nutshell, this volume sheds light on local practice and experiences that can be utilized to meet unique circumstances of countries that have suffered from a destructive conflict. The collection will investigate the transition to peace by highlighting the missing links between peacebuilding norms and practice, political economy, emotions, justice, and reconciliation.
