Upcoming PCR Event: Building Peace After War Book Release

On February 19th the PCR Project will be hosting a book release for Mats Berdal’s latest book Building Peace After War.  

Building Peace After War is a critical assessment of international efforts, from Cambodia to Afghanistan, to consolidate peace in the aftermath of war. The book analyzes the nature of the modern peace-building environment and addresses the key tasks faced by outside forces in the early and critical ‘post-conflict’ phase of an intervention.  Berdal also looks critically at the ways in which governments and international organizations, particularly the UN, have responded to these many challenges. He highlights the pivotal role of politics in planning peace-building operations, and offers some sober reflections on the future prospects for post-conflict intervention.

Mats Berdal is Professor of Security and Development in the Department of War Studies at King's College London. He was formerly the Director of Studies at the International Institute for Strategic Studies in London.

The event will take place on Friday, February 19 from 2:00-3:00 in the CSIS 4th floor Conference Room.

Invitations will be sent out shortly.  If you are interested in attending this event but you are not on our mailing list, please contact Katherine Hubbard at KHubbard@csis.org.
