Violence and Post-War Reconstruction : Managing Insecurity in the Aftermath of Peace Accords
by Steenkamp, Christina




Terms of use

The uncomfortable truth about peace accords is that often they do not bring about a real and lasting peace: while the conflict is officially over, civilians still live with the daily threat of violence.nbsp; It is generally assumed that this does not pose a threat to the peace process yet the author shows how, in reality, violence that occurs at this time and within this context has a unique potential to cause damage.In this much needed and pioneering study, the author shows the impact of continuing physical insecurity upon the postwar reconstruction process. Examining the type of violence, when it occurs and the identity of those who commit it, she reveals the serious implications for the reconstruction of state, polity and society and for the quality of peace that emerges.nbsp;She shows how the use of violence to address everyday problems becomes increasingly acceptable,nbsp;explores the use of violence by organized groups in society, and pays particular attention to civilian reactions to post-accord insecurity. In a final chapter, she identifies a range of important considerations for the better understanding of a vital yet often neglected aspect of postwar reconstruction.
