Abstract

Post-conflict peacebuilding has become a primary concern of international politics. Indeed, the UN reform agenda – including the creation of a Peacebuilding Commission – makes clear that more must be done to prevent societies from falling back into violent struggle. Building up domestic capacity to provide security in an accountable manner plays a crucial role in this context.

This volume examines a number of key issues that must be addressed by both post-conflict societies and the international community as they confront the task of rebuilding after armed conflict – including security sector reform (SSR), disarmament demobilisation and reintegration (DDR), and the rule of law and transitional justice.
