A phoenix rising? Gaza and a growing movement to realise a just and principle-based international order
Inclusion and social contracts in Tunisia
Just transitions and resilience in contexts of conflict and fragility
Countries affected by conflict and fragility are disproportionately affected by climate crises that are not of their making. Calls for Just Transitions (JTs) to post-carbon societies are accelerating, with scholarly attention to these contexts. This article critically reviews literature on JTs and environmental peacebuilding for insights and evidence to build a foundation for more informed analysis and action. We argue that durable transition pat…
Transforming our Common Crisis
Critical Evolutions in the Peacebuilding-Development Praxis Nexus
Over the last 2 decades, the peacebuilding and development nexus has grown as a critical area of scholarship and practise. At the same time, the conflict landscape has evolved in complexity, incorporating fragility, violence, and humanitarian crisis, presenting ever greater challenges for analysis, framing, and effective policy and practise responses. This article reflects on the paradigmatic shifts in this nexus as introduced by scholar Peter Uv…
Resilient Social Contracts and Peace
This article makes the case for rethinking the social contract concept with attention to countries affected by conflict, fragility, and fraught transition. Inspired by related policy efforts and engaging scholarship across multiple disciplines, this piece and the multi-country research represented in this Special Issue aim to build the intellectual lineage of the concept. A conceptual framework and proposed heuristic device for enhancing policy a…
Forging Resilient Social Contracts and Sustaining Peace
Sustaining Peace One Day at a Time
This article argues that inclusion is a key driver of resilient social contracts and a foundation for sustaining peace. Drawing on case studies conducted under the Forging Resilient Social Contracts project and building on the literature on transitions from war to peace and authoritarianism to democracy, the theoretical framework links inclusion to peace sustainability. Interrogating how and why processes of inclusion matter, we argue that resili…
Harnessing and Sustaining a Global Commitment to Address Violent Extremism Through Peacebuilding and Development
Issues of extremism come in many forms. In all its variants, extremism presents challenges for processes of peacebuilding and development which, at their core from this Journal’s perspective, rest
International peace building and the emerging inclusivity norm
This paper draws on constructivist theory to assess the contemporary debate around inclusion within peace-building and state-building processes and on inclusivity as an emerging norm within international policy processes. Within the wider context of an ongoing but still incomplete normative shift in terms of how peace building is both understood and practised, it focuses on the case of the New Deal for Engagement in Fragile States, and makes the …

Bringing Peace Closer to the People
There is a growing recognition by policymakers and practitioners at the national and international levels that we must better understand the role that social services can play in fuelling instabili
Wicked Problems in Peacebuilding and Statebuilding
Peacebuilding and its relatively new partner in international policy discourse and practice—statebuilding—are moving in increasingly larger circles with the recognition that business cannot be done as usual in fragile and conflict-affected states where 1.5 billion of the world's population resides. With rising prominence comes ever greater scrutiny about their nature and means for their practical realization. This article reflects on a question c…
JPD in Transition
JPD is in transition. We are thrilled to announce both a new institutional home – the University of San Diego's Joan B. Kroc School of Peace Studies – and a new publishing arrangement, with Taylor
Hybridity and Policy Engagement
The rise of critical reflection of the peacebuilding and wider aid enterprise over the last decade has been accompanied by a steady investigation into local contexts. This reflects an awareness of
Polarization and Transformation in Zimbabwe
Part II
Cooperation for Reconstruction, Peace and Transformation in Haiti
Islam, Peacebuilding and Development
As this special issue of JPD was being finalised, the world was anxiously watching the popular uprisings unfolding across the Middle East and North Africa. The editorial staff considered delaying this special issue to include new articles analysing the events, but the changes were occurring too quickly for a refereed journal to keep pace. We knew our role would be a longer-term one, aimed at providing a space for readers to analyse and reflect on…
Strategic Frameworks that Embrace Mutual Accountability for Peacebuilding
This article examines the use of strategic frameworks in four countries emerging from conflict with a view to understanding the extent to which they have served to contribute to more effective peacebuilding outcomes. Two of the cases examined (Sierra Leone and Burundi) are currently on the United Nations Peacebuilding Commission's agenda, and two (Liberia and Afghanistan) are not, although they both host a United Nations peace mission. Core eleme…

Environment and Natural Resource-Related Conflicts
This issue investigates strategic approaches to address conflicts across the globe that centrally involve natural resources and the environment. Our authors are concerned with transformative rather than management approaches as they challenge the boundaries of policy and theoretical debates with rich description and analysis of unique case studies where different approaches are attempted. The cases examined in Africa, the Middle East and Latin Am…
Peacebuilding and Development
Awareness is growing in both the peacebuilding and development communities about the need to better understand the influence and impact of their programmes and policies in a more systematic way, particularly in situations of violent conflict or post-conflict environments. The increasing recognition among international agencies, scholars and practitioners of the need to treat peacebuilding and development in an integrated way is, however, not suff…
Building Socially Accountable Peace and Development in Africa
Description to be added
The Launching of a New Journal
The answer is simple and it lies in the classic statement, ‘there can be no development without peace, and no peace without development’. Issues of peace, conflict and development have been theorised throughout the century in different manners and with different ideological underpinnings. The current global context is characterised by high levels of violent protracted conflict and inexcusable and rising levels of poverty and inequality. Together …
Reconciling Relationships while Pursuing Justice
This article explores the ways in which land redistribution efforts in Zimbabwe contribute to the building of constructive intercommunal relationships and a sustainable peace. Paradoxical questions are conceptualized and analysis and recommendations offered, elicited from stakeholder communities. For theorists interested in reconciliation, this case points towards the need for critical reflection into the ways in which social and economic relatio…

Mapping Strategic Linkages
The Journal of Peacebuilding and Development is back, welcoming you to a second issue of what promises to be a winning project. Since the production of issue one, JPD has held launches in London, Washington DC and Harare aimed at raising awareness about and interest in a Journal that examines critical peacebuilding and development linkages. The launches were attended by representatives of development and conflict/peace NGOs, governmental and inte…

Moving beyond Sanctions
Liberia is emerging from 14 years of war where it served as the epicentre in West Africa of conflict fuelled by disputes over natural resources. Almost three years after the signing of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement there remain resource-rich, poorly managed areas where ex-combatants wield considerable power due to lack of law-and-order capacity and alternative livelihood opportunities. Gaining government control of such areas and prohibiting …

National Ownership in Security, Peacebuilding and Development
This issue, Volume 2, Number 3, examines international and local efforts to achieve security, peacebuilding and development at different levels and in different forms, revealing aspects of their interconnectedness around issues of participation, accountability and national ownership. Underlying the main theme lie several subthemes that critically revisit past issues of JPD, providing new insights that carry the debates forward in new ways. These …
Security for People? The Role of Security Sector Reform in Sustaining Peace
In this issue, our authors illustrate through international cases that there is much work to be done to ensure SSR meets this objective. Much of this has to do with the contexts within which SSR projects are being implemented – in some cases where conflict is not exactly ‘post’, and where underlying political realities that may have been root causes of conflict remain largely unresolved. It also, however, has to do with a proclivity of SSR design…
Seeking the Forest through the Trees
PEACEBUILDING is a complex and deeply political enterprise, practised by multiple actors, external and domestic, with different and often conflicting goals and interests. Despite the growth of a peacebuilding ‘industry’ over the last decade, with increasingly professionalised toolkits, methods and best practices, international efforts to help consolidate peace in war-torn countries have met with mixed success. Growing recognition of persistent sh…
Back to Basics
ISSN 1542-3166 As our collective knowledge of conflict and development on the African continent deepens, one thing becomes clear: identifying conflict causes and charting paths to peace remain highly complex endeavours. This issue offers five insightful articles that illustrate this complexity in numerous ways while underscoring salient but repeatedly forgotten truths – that culture and context matter – especially in transitional societies where …
