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.
