This study explores the theory and practice of peace education and how this contributes to NGO peace-building interventions in war-torn societies. Drawing from field research, the author considers how effectively peace education has sought to tackle the complex causes of war in Sierra Leone. In doing this, the author highlights the pivotal role that education plays as both a cause and a cure for war and demonstrates the need to focus on new adult peace education programmes as a long-term preventative measure.

This report examines the choices and challenges facing the Angolan government one year after more than four decades of internationally fuelled civil conflict came to an end. The report argues that if the government undertakes and sustains meaningful political and economic reforms, peace and prosperity will be assured. If it delays on fundamental issues of transparency, diversification and pluralism, the country will likely be condemned to further decades of poor governance and localized violence.

This report examines the level of implementation, in Bosnia, of the General Framework Agreement for Peace in Bosnia and Herzegovina (GFAP) of the Dayton Peace Accords (DPA), annex by annex. It shows that over the course of four years, although the war has ended, significant portions of the DPA remain unimplemented and may remain so. It discusses how in the process of reconstruction Bosnia has become donor dependent, and that its politicians avoid making the needed structural changes in the economy that will attract private investment.
