Description: This study explores images of economic assistance to explain the importance of tailoring such assistance to the distinctive social needs of the targeted communities, and how third parties must consider and include local perspectives in their attempts to build a lasting peace. The book makes an important contribution to our understanding of how economic assistance impacts a divided society with a history of protracted violence.
