Description

In the wake of conflict, “peace” is never simply declared—it is negotiated, enforced, and paid for in human lives, political compromises, and moral tradeoffs. This book traces how the pursuit of stability shapes policy and public life, examining the costs borne by individuals and communities when leaders attempt to end violence and prevent its return. With a focus on power, justice, and the long shadow of war, it explores the themes of reconciliation versus accountability and the difficult work of building institutions that can outlast crisis. Written in a clear, historically grounded style, it offers a compelling lens on what it truly means to secure peace—and what that security demands.
