Beskrivning

As the world experiences heightened levels of violent conflict and polarization, understanding what peacebuilding efforts are “effective” becomes all the more pressing. This groundbreaking edited volume brings together a diverse, global group of practitioners, researchers, and peacebuilders to grapple with urgent questions and challenges related to defining and assessing peacebuilding effectiveness. Sections of the book engage in critical reflection on what peacebuilding effectiveness is and who gets to decide, provide practical examples and case studies of the successes and failures of assessing peacebuilding work, and support innovative strategies and tools to move the field forward. Chapters reflect a variety of perspectives on peacebuilding effectiveness and methods—quantitative, qualitative, and participatory—to evaluate peacebuilding efforts, with particular attention to approaches that center those local to the peacebuilding process. Practitioners and policymakers alike will find useful arguments and approaches for evaluating peacebuilding activities and making the case for funding such efforts. This book aims to catalyze conversation and action among peacebuilding practitioners, academics, donors, and those directly affected by peacebuilding efforts about how we define and measure effectiveness.

Are We Making a Difference is a remarkable undertaking in aim, scope, and possibilities for the future. Are We Making a Difference takes on the responsibility of interrogating the myriad tensions involved in ascertaining effectiveness in peacekeeping to record initiatives and provide a foundation for further (re)considerations of what effectiveness means and how it can be measured and activated for the good of the communities it serves. This collection offers a stunning and provocative array of chapters representing local and globe efforts from experts who are scholars, donors, policy-makers, and/or practitioners. By dismantling peacebuilding myths and grappling with seemingly unsurmountable challenges, Are We Making a Difference inspires readers to hope for peace.
