Summary:

Ricigliano (peacebuilding and communication, U. of Wisconsin-Madison) has worked with governments, armed groups, donor agencies, community leaders, and security and development practitioners in peace processes around the world. In this text, he incorporates insights from systems thinking in an effort to "spark a revolution in the sustainability and cost-effectiveness of efforts" to increase peace worldwide. He examines the power of peacebuilding and some of the key factors necessary for improving peacebuilding, including a mindshift to systematic peacebuilding, and then discusses in depth the SAT (structural, attitudinal, transactional) model for systematic change, and how the SAT model could be used by peacebuilders for assessment and planning purposes, and to nurture changes that will facilitate sustained peace. The book's readership includes academics, researchers, policymakers, and students in politics, sociology, conflict resolution, and related fields.
