"This volume makes an original contribution to the field and will be read with great interest by scholars, graduate students, and the policy community. The contributors present an important set of arguments that engage the scholarly and policy-oriented debates about peace implementation and peacebuilding by teasing out the complex and sometimes counterintuitive relationships between violence and peace." —Terrence Lyons, Institute for Conflict Analysis and Resolution, George Mason University"This well-organized and effective book could not be timelier. It sets out, and achieves, an ambitious program for itself." —Andrew Williams, University of Kent"Darby has edited a thoughtful book whose eight chapters form a coherent whole. It concerns violence which takes place after the implementation of a peace accord has started. . . . an erudite, coherent, crafted, thoughtful, and informative volume."—Journal of Peace Research
