“This is a rigorous and balanced assessment that should be of considerable interest to practitioners and their sponsors and funders.”—Chester A, Crocker, James R. Schlesinger Professor of Strategic Studies, Georgetown University
“This work is a fitting memorial to the deep engagement of Howard Wolpe in his pursuit of a new paradigm—trust-building. Wolpe believed that to make peace, one should get the people who can make war, at all levels, to relate to each other as human beings; that is, as equals. The pursuit of dialog and communality in many places is recorded here, honestly even when it failed, analytically to find out how and why.”—I. William Zartman, Jacob Blaustein Distinguished Professor Emeritus of International Organization and Conflict Resolution, Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies
“This is an important and path-breaking book. It offers an original framework for assessing the influence of conflict resolution in societies in conflict and six excellent case studies. At once visionary and measured, it will be of great value to students, scholars, practitioners, policymakers, and all concerned with how conflict resolution works out in practice.”—Hugh Miall, Emeritus Professor of International Relations, University of Kent
“This book charts new territory in its structured approach to understanding whether it is possible to build up will among host country or society leaders to take on peacebuilding roles, and if so, how. It focuses on leadership engagement, an element that has long been recognized as essential to peace processes.”—Pamela Aall, United States Institute of Peace
“Specialists will look to this book for evidence of past success and failure, and for guidance on future projects.”—Anthony Wanis-St. John, American University
