Abstract

This chapter concerns the experience and history of thought covering the relationship between peacebuilding and development after the Cold War. The contributions of development toward peacebuilding are examined, and conversely as well, the impact of peacebuilding on development. The post-Cold War rise of peacebuilding as an activity involves a major role for development, the policy priorities of donors, and international financial institutions. This subject is linked to the growing recognition of the importance of local context, to debates about “top-down” versus “bottom-up.”
