Contemporary Peacemaking : Conflict, Violence and Peace Processes

Contemporary Peace Making draws on recent experience to identify and explore the essential components of peace processes. Each chapter examines a different element in recent peace processes. The collection is organized around five main themes: planning for peace during periods of violence, the process of negotiations (including pre-negotiation), the effects of violence on peace processes, peace accords-constitutional and political options-and securing the settlement and building the peace.
