Improving international support to peace processes: the missing piece

Peace processes hold the promise of re-starting non-violent efforts towards creating more equitable, resilient and developed societies. Yet, such processesare politically and psychologically complex, as well as high-risk. Many fail and such failure is harmful, as it reduces confidence and increases cynicism amongst parties to a conflict, citizens and international partners alike. International support can help a peace process to succeed but its nature and quality matter greatly. "The Missing Piece" identifies seven recommendations to improve the quality of support that states and international organizations provideto peace processes. It does this through a thorough analysis of: the characteristics of today's violent conflicts, the factors that influence the success and failure of a peace process and the current strengths & weaknesses of international support. INDICE: Chapter 1. Violent conflict and organised violence today Chapter 2. What are ingredients for success in a peace process? Chapter 3. Strengths and weaknesses of international support Chapter 4. Recommendations to improve international supportChapter 5. From recommendations to action: Country responses
