In contemporary armed conflicts, youth are often on the frontlines of combat and, after peace accords are signed, they are both potential threats to peace and significant peace-building resources. Troublemakers or Peacemakers? breaks new ground by exploring youth actions, perceptions, and needs as central components of the challenge of post-war peace building. The contributors develop theory and policy recommendations based on field research in Sierra Leone, Rwanda, Guatemala, Colombia, Angola, Northern Ireland, Bosnia, and Israel-Palestine.
"This book makes an original contribution to the field of peace and conflict studies. It brings together valuable information in an extremely readable and integrated book."—Julia Chaitin, Department of Conflict Analysis and Resolution, Nova Southeastern University
