Guiding Principles for Stabilization and Reconstruction presents the first-ever, comprehensive set of shared principles for building sustainable peace in societies emerging from violent conflict. The manual serves as a tool for U.S. government civilian planners and practitioners engaged in stabilization and reconstruction (S&R) missions and is a valuable resource for international actors and nongovernmental organizations. Today, civilian actors operate without the support of any unifying framework or common set of principles to guide their actions in these complex environments. As global demand for these missions continues to rise, this gap will impede the cooperation and cohesion that is needed across the peacebuilding community to ensure success of any S&R mission. Guiding Principles seeks to fill this gap by providing: 1) an overarching strategic framework for S&R missions based on a construct of End States, Conditions and Approaches. 2) a comprehensive set of shared principles and processes, distilled from the wealth of lessons that have emerged from past S&R missions. A product of the collaboration between the United States Institute of Peace and the Peacekeeping and Stability Operations Institute, this manual reflects the input of dozens of institutions across the peacebuilding community providing a comprehensive review of major strategic policy documents from state ministries of defense, foreign affairs and development, along with major intergovernmental and nongovernmental organizations that toil in war-shattered landscapes around the globe.

Utterly Brilliant Synthesis, Vital First Step--US Violates Every Single Principle

By Robert David STEELE Vivas HALL OF FAMETOP 1000 REVIEWER on December 18, 2009

Verified Purchase

This book is a six-star special and will be so rated at Phi Beta Iota, the Public Intelligence Blog, where I cluster like non-fictions books in 98 categories, one of which is Stabilization & Reconstruction.

At its most fundamental this is without question the most extraordinary sensible and useful synthesis of all possible documents devoted to the subject, offering up a truly remarkable--just an amazing--framework for study and for planning.

The publisher failed to make full use of the Amazon tools for showing the Table of Contents at a minimum, and this error should be corrected immediately. Inside the Book is also recommended. I would normally reduce the book to four stars for its failure include all those outside the "traditional" national security community; for its lack of an index, and for its ignorance of most relevant books outside the narrow circle of stabilization & reconstruction groupies. However, this is such an incredibly gifted, intelligent, and meticulous presentation of vitally important information that I leave it at six star special, beyond five stars.

Still, to not be able to see in an index every page for key words like "water" or "intelligence" is infuriating.

I could spend a year reading and re-reading this book and still not master it in detail. This is one of those books that must become like a Bible, read and re-read, consulted at every turn. It should become the standard "Ref A" for all government and academic and non-governmental training programs, should be translated into French immediately, and offered to regional organizations for adaptation or adoption and translation in prominent regional languages. The placement of the notes at the foot of each page is exactly right and most valuable.Read more ›
