This book provides a fact-filled overview of the problem of political violence and what is being done to ameliorate it. The book presents extensive data about wars that have taken place since 1991, including information on what started and stopped them, the actions being taken to reduce the extent of armed conflict in the world, and the organisations that conduct and fund peacebuilding operations and research.
Those interested in stopping or preventing wars will see how wars ended and what caused them to stop. Peacebuilders, funders and researchers will find an extensive catalogue of organisations with similar interests with which they can collaborate. Scholars and teachers will find the book as a helpful resource for courses on political violence.
Dr Elliot Short, a British historian, compiled the data. He has researched and published on conflict, statebuilding, and defence reform in the Western Balkans.
Milt Lauenstein, after 50 years in business management, turned to peacebuilding as a second career in 2001. He has been initiating and funding work to reduce political violence ever since.
