Conflict Society and Peacebuilding

Recognising the crucial role that civil society plays in contexts of conflict and peace-building, this book looks at how governmental actors across different regions — Asia, Africa, Latin America and Europe — can partner with civil society to bring about conflict resolution.

Civil societys role in conflict and peace-building is increasingly being recognized: an integral element in conflict, it can act within the conflict dynamic to fuel discord further or to entrench the status quo. Alternatively, it can bring about peaceful resolution and reconciliation. The question at hand is not whether to engage civil society in contexts of conflict, but rather how governmental actors can partner with civil society to induce conflict resolution and conflict transformation. The collection of essays in this volume attempts to explore this nexus between civil society and peace-building, especially in the context of intra-state and identity-driven conflicts, across different regions by focusing on case studies from Asia, Africa, Latin America and Europe.
