After the conflict a review of selected sources on rebuilding war-torn societies

The War-torn Societies Project has issued its first Occasional Paper, an annotated bibliography and essay, set in a conceptual framework covering post conflict rebuilding. The report takes stock of existing knowledge and experience in the field and identifies the most important projects and studies that address the problems of rebuilding. Taken together, the works discussed in this paper shed light on the complex challenges of reconciliation, reconstruction and the consolidation of often fragile peace arrangements. This essay is meant to be an operational and an analytical tool. It responds not only to the awareness that well trageted research can and should contribute to improving ongoing efforts, but also to pressing requests of policy makers and practitioners for knowledge and expertise on which they can ground their efforts and redefine their policies. The study is organized into chapters on international organizational capacities, security structures and political, economic and social rebuilding.
