What should we do to bring peace to
the post-Cold War type of conflicts and reconstruct the
society that does not allow the conflict to return?ー
This question cannot be ignored by us in the present
international society including Japan. Hiroshima
University Partnership Project for Peacebuilding and
Capacity Development(HiPeC-II) is to tackle the problem
from the perspective of"Indigenous Initiatives" in order
to find the way to
peace.
Peacebuilding has many aspects such as "Reconstruction
of the damaged society," "Reintegration of the
combatants to the local community," "Stabilization of
the peace process," "Reconciliation of the people in
conflict," "Security sector reform," and "Restructuring
of a state system," each of which overlaps with an
individual academic disciprine like political science,
public administration, psychology,history,
jurisprudence, anthropology and area studies.
However,Peacebuilding has a strong purpose of not
returning to the conflict again, and in this sense, it
is not a mere collection of individual disciprines but
an integrated science.
