Exploring Subregional Conflict: Opportunities For Conflict Prevention (Opportunities For Conflict Prevention) (Hardcover)

The causes of violent conflict, as well as approaches to conflict prevention, have been studied extensively, but only recently has attention been given to the subregional dynamics of internal wars. The authors of this original collection explore conflicts in Africa, Central Asia, and Central America, seeking new insights that can provide the foundation for more nuanced, more effective preventive strategies. This collection of subregional case studies and policy recommendations concludes the International Peace Academy s three-year resaerch and policy project titled From Promise to Practice Strengthening UN Capacities for the Prevention of Violent Conflict. The project sought to identify opportunities to strengthen the conflict prevention capacity within the United Nations system and beyond, with an emphasis on structural prevention, in particular relating to development and capacity building.
