Flores, Luis2019-09-252019-09-252014-03-212013-01http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12424/203092Building peace in a world awash in conflict is no mean task. The causes and dynamics of violence can be complex, and the challenges huge. Many conflict actors prefer continued hostilities to putting an end to fighting. Resources for peace are scarce. The demands are abundant. Effective action depends on incisive and participatory analysis, acute sensitivity to context and culture, strong reliance on local knowledge and capacities, strategic timing – not to mention a healthy dose of grace or good fortune – and steadfast, long-term commitment.engWith permission of the license/copyright holderPeaceConflictSpacePolitical ethicsPeace ethicsGovernance and ethicsDevelopment ethicsCommunity ethicsLifestyle ethicsArticle
