Description: Contemporary Peacemaking draws on recent experience to identify and explore the essential components of peace processes. Bringing together leading scholars and conflict resolution practitioners, each chapter examines comparatively a different element in recent peace processes. The outcome is a substantial edited book comprising the most authoritative and wide-ranging review of peace processes to date. The book is organised around five key themes in peacemaking: planning for peace during periods of violence; negotiations; the effects of violence on peace processes; peace accords; and peace accord implementation and post-war reconstruction. For this second edition, fourteen chapters have been updated and seven new chapters have been added. New issues covered in this edition include women in peacemaking, refugees, indigenous approaches to peacemaking, and the economics of post-war recovery.
