  • Chapter
Approaches to Peacebuilding

Part of the book series: Global Issues Series ((GLOISS))

Abstract

These changes can alter the status quo and reapportion the stakes within civil society and between civil society and government, often yielding discord, and sometimes outright hostility and violence, among groups that perceive a loss of power or influence.
