This is a useful resource and essential reading particularly for academics and civil society organizations engaged in peacebuilding activities." - Dr. Deusdedit R.K Nkurunziza, Makerere University, Uganda "Each chapter is fascinating, engaging with the detailed complexity and special features of conflict situations and attempts to build peace, and applying an extensive literature.
