Review

This well-balanced volume approaches peacebuilding from a variety of important geographical and theoretical directions.... It is a valuable asset for anyone looking for a comprehensive view of the subject. (Karl DeRouen, University of Alabama)

The challenge of ‘putting theory to work’ is fraught with difficulties.... This book is a courageous, welcome, and thought-provoking step in the right direction. (Herman T. Salton ACUNS.org)
