Question 1

What is peacebuilding?

Answer 1

Peacebuilding is an activity that aims to resolve injustice in nonviolent ways and to transform the cultural and structural conditions that generate deadly or destructive conflict. It revolves around developing constructive personal, group, and political relationships across ethnic, religious, class, national, and racial boundaries. The process includes violence prevention; conflict management, resolution, or transformation; and post-conflict reconciliation or trauma healing before, during, and after any given case of violence.

Question 3

How does peacebuilding stand out from peacemaking, peacekeeping, and conflict resolution?

Answer 3

Peacemaking involves stopping an ongoing conflict, whereas peacebuilding happens before a conflict starts or once it ends.

Peacekeeping prevents the resumption of fighting following a conflict; it does not address the underlying causes of violence or work to create societal change, as peacebuilding does.

Conflict resolution does not include some components of peacebuilding, such as state building and socioeconomic development.
