INSTITUTE FOR PEACE WORK

AND NONVIOLENT CONFLICT TRANSFORMATION

Wahlenau, Germany

In conjunction with Nonviolence Peaceforce

Announces a new Working Paper:

Civilian Peacekeeping. A Barely Tapped Ressource

Ed. By Christine Schweitzer

This Working Paper in English language includes five contributions on the subject of „Civilian Peacekeeping“. The articles have been written independently of each other and for different audiences. These audiences had in common that they were mainstream policymakers and scientists, not people from the peace and nonviolence movements. All the authors have for some time or still are involved with the NGO Nonviolent Peaceforce, and therefore chose the majority of their examples from the experiences of the work of NP.
