Abstract
Difficult peace negotiations can create the conditions necessary for the settlement of intrastate violence and war in many divided societies. This book focuses on diverse processes and strategies for the transition from violent conflict to post-conflict reconstruction. In order to obtain a peace settlement that is durable, ‘institutions and support structures must be put in place so that the parties are discouraged from taking up arms again’ (Hampson, 1996, pp. 9–10). In investigating a post-settlement situation, thus, it is important to identify actions and support structures that will prevent a relapse into violent conflict. The volume explores the ways dynamics of postconflict situations can be transformed for the achievement of sustainable peace.
