Making Peace Work: The Challenge of Social and Economic Reconstruction
Book Presentation
A seminar hosted by DIW Berlin and the United Nations Association of Germany.
Afghanistan, Somalia, Bosnia, Kosovo or Georgia – reconstruction from war and conflict is a daunting task. Countries face huge challenges with too few resources to meet these needs: rebuilding infrastructure, assisting war-damaged communities, re-creating weakened institutions.
And without proper reconstruction, countries may easily regress back into war, as numerous examples around the world sharply illustrate.
In our book presentation, the editors of “Making Peace Work” offer examples of what works and what doesn’t.
The new book will be featured and discussed.
