UN Peacebuilding Architecture: The First 10 Years
About this ebook
The volume is based on commissioned research and independent evaluations as well as informed opinions of several key decision-makers closely engaged in shaping the UN's peacebuilding agenda. It seeks to find a balance between identifying the reality and constraints of the UN's multilateral framework, while being bold in exploring new and innovative ways in which the UN can enhance the results of its peace and development work through the PBA.
The research and writing of each chapter has been guided by four objectives:
- to assess the overall impact of the PBA;
- to generate innovative ideas for how the PBA can be made more effective post-2015;
- to analyze the PBA’s role at the nexus of the UN's peace and development work; and
- to consider what would be required for the PBA to increase and improve its impact in future.
It will be of interest to diplomats, UN officials, the policy community and scholars engaged in the debate following the 2015 review and the implementation of its recommendations, and will be an essential resource for UN and peacebuilding scholars.
