COMPLEXITY THINKING FOR PEACEBUILDING PRACTICE ...

This book covers the design  evaluation  and learning for international interventions aiming to
promote peace. More specifically  it reconceptualises this space by critically analysing
mainstream approaches - presenting both conceptual and empirical content. This volume offers a
variety of original and insightful contributions to the debates grappling with the adoption of
complexity thinking. Insights from Complexity Thinking for Peacebuilding Practice and
Evaluation addresses the core dilemma that practitioners have to confront: how to function in
situations that are fast changing and complex  when equipped with tools designed for neither?
How do we reconcile the tension between the use of linear causal logic and the dynamic
political transitions that interventions are meant to assist? Readers will be given a rare
opportunity to superimpose the latest conceptual innovations with the latest case study
applications and from a diverse spectrum of organisational vantage points. This provides the
myriad practitioners and consultants in this space with invaluable insights as to how to
improve their trade craft  while ensuring policy makers and the accompanying research academic
industry have clearer guidance and innovative thinking. This edited volume provides critically
innovative offerings for the audiences that make up this broad area's practitioners 
researchers academics educators  and consultants  as well as policy makers.
