| Summary |
"The sense is growing that strengthening a society's capacity to overcome violent shock and communal stressors could play a key role in preventing conflict and achieving a more sustainable postconflict recovery. Thus, researchers and practitioners in the fields of peacebuilding and conflict resolution have begun to work together to test the concept of resilience. This report defines the concept and, using a socioecological lens, examines its potential application in peacebuilding practice. Case studies are explored to identify the challenges and opportunities in changing a regime of violence to a regime of peace. The analysis shows that for a successful transformation to occur, peacebuilding approaches need to focus on building a socioecological system's capacity to absorb and adapt to violence and mitigate the effects of slow, long-term stressors"--Publisher description. |
