Description
About the Book
Farnum introduces a new framework for peacebuilding theory and action that foregrounds environmental justice in post-conflict responses with lessons from major international peacebuilding operations in Rwanda, The Balkans, Lebanon, Kuwait and South Africa.Book Synopsis
Farnum examines the role of the environment in post-war societies, challenging existing approaches towards peacebuilding by providing a new framework for theory and action that foregrounds environmental justice as a central tool in peacebuilding processes.
Using case studies from international peace efforts in Rwanda, The Balkans, Lebanon, Kuwait and South Africa, she identifies limitations to our traditional, linear approaches to post-conflict rebuilding and explores how conflict can create windows of opportunity for reshaping systems.
Ultimately, this book shows how we can better harness nature's potential to transform peacebuilding in a way that places equitable sustainability, vulnerable communities, and future generations at the fore of effective response.
