'This is an excellent addition to the roster of background texts on peacebuilding and its many dimensions. It contains multiple up-to-date chapters that illustrate the complexity of the challenges facing peacebuilding, and the inadequacy of the current peace architectures and infrastructures as well as many of its processes. This is a must-read for both undergraduate and postgraduate courses on peace and conflict.'Oliver P. Richmond, University of Manchester, UK'The Routledge Handbook of Peacebuilding has garnered acclaim as an authoritative reference and educational text over the last decade. In its second edition, it further enriches its utility by incorporating critical assessments of emerging peacebuilding trends, amplifying perspectives from the Global South, and offering insightful reflections on the intricate nature of peacebuilding.'SungYong Lee, Professor, Soka University, Japan'With wars raging around the planet and numerous long-running conflicts unresolved, the need for peacebuilding has never been greater. Roger Mac Ginty has put together a cutting-edge collection of works on making and sustaining peace. The Handbook of Peacebuilding is particularly adept in showing the multi-dimensional nature of conflict and the need for us to take issues of gender, race, climate change, and poverty seriously when seeking to build peace.'Severine Autesserre, author of Peaceland and The Frontlines of Peace, Barnard College, Columbia University, USA'At a time when the efforts of peacebuilders are being sorely challenged, this book responds to the need for an imaginative and effective response. The global voices and perspectives presented here provide an inspiring and energising vision to counter the violence which threatens to reverse the peacebuilding gains of the past twenty years. An outstanding and impressive achievement.'Tom Woodhouse, University of Bradford, UK
