For countries where open warfare has recently subsided, contributors from a wide range of countries and fields focus on how to go beyond immediate relief and begin to build social and economic structures that can serve as a foundation for continuing peace. Among the factors they consider are security, state institutions, local governance, the rule of law, infrastructure, education, health care, and environmental protection. Mozambique and Cambodia serve as case studies. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
