Description: "Peacebuilding is a difficult process, subject to frequent setbacks and sometimes outright failure. Durable Peace argues that any peacebuilding effort must include four basic elements: a secure environment, new political institutions that are broadly representative, a healthy economy, and a mechanism for dealing with injustices of the past and future. How these elements are put together will vary, but if they are arranged to fit the specific local circumstances, the outcome will likely be self-sustaining peace."--BOOK JACKET.
