Integrated Peacebuilding: Innovative Approaches to Transforming Conflict

  • Evelyn Thornton and Tobie Whitman

Summary

Integrated Peacebuilding addresses the importance of weaving peacebuilding methods into diverse sectors including development, humanitarian assistance, gender, business, media, health, and the environment – areas where such work is needed the most. Incorporating peacebuilding approaches in these fields is critical for transforming today’s protracted conflicts into tomorrow’s sustainable peace. Covering both theory and practice, Dr. Zelizer and his team of leading academics and practitioners present original essays discussing the infrastructure of the peacebuilding field (outlining key actors, donors, and underlying motivations) as well as the ethical dilemmas created by modern conflict.
