A Handbook of International Peacebuilding: Into t the Eye of the Storm

"The field of international peacebuilding has long lacked a practical guide to the very real challenges that peacebuilders face. Here it is at last-- clear, operational, wise advice from highly experienced leaders in the field. This is required reading for anyone who hopes to make a difference in building global peace." -- William Ury, author, The Third Side: Why We Fight and How We Can Stop

"A Handbook of International Peacebuilding, so full of practical wisdom on every page, belongs by the phone and in the carry-on bag of every peacebuilder, novice and veteran alike." --Cynthia Sampson, president, Peace Discovery Initiatives

"This book collects the wisdom of peacebuilding practitioners and scholars across the world. The authors convey both the dangers of misguided interventions in conflict-ridden settings and the transformative possibilities of work that is conducted with intelligence, respect, patience, and political savvy. A Handbook of International Peacebuilding should become a constant companion for anyone committed to appropriate involvement in conflict resolution." --B. Stephen Toben, vice president, Flora Family Foundation
