A Handbook of International Peacebuilding: Into The Eye Of The Storm

"...collects the wisdom of practitioners and scholars from all over the world." (The Texas Mediator, Summer 2003)

"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
