Research and Markets: Deconstructing the Reconstruction Comments on Lessons Learned for Future Post-Conflict Reconstruction Scenarios

DUBLIN, Ireland--(Business Wire)--
Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/3a0729/deconstructing_the)
has announced the addition of the "Deconstructing the Reconstruction"
report to their offering.

Bringing together a range of contributors from multiple countries,
this interdisciplinary volume offers a unique field view of the rule
of law and human rights reform in the reconciliation and
reconstruction process. The contributors all worked in Bosnia and
Herzegovina during the ten years after the Dayton Peace Accords were
signed; here they pause to analyze and critique the work they did.

The contributors offer insights from within a variety of
international organizations, including the Office of the High
Representative, the Organization for Security and Cooperation and
Europe, and the United Nations. Allowing those who were in the field
to identify, discuss and reflect upon the programmes and policies, the
collection reveals how the programmes were created, what laws they
were pursuant to, and what alternatives were rejected and why.

The authors not only assess both the positive and negative aspects
and outcomes of their work, but also comment on lessons learned for
future post-conflict reconstruction scenarios.
