Abstract

Conflicts over territory, identity, and statehood are notoriously hard to manage and even harder to settle. Civil wars have a strong tendency for recurrence, even after well-intentioned peace accords. Ethnic tensions can perpetuate enmity between conflict parties. Political leaders make but sometimes also break settlements. The reintegration of former combatants is a formidable challenge for post-conflict societies. Ruins and devastated spaces often remain long after the fighting has ended. Still, in all of these five dimensions, we can see small glimpses of hope. The scholars in this panel look for best-practice examples and seek to identify unique ways of dealing with conflicts that can help construct better peacebuilding approaches in the future.
