Smith, eds., International Peace Institute and Geneva Centre for Security PolicyThis report addresses the implicit challenges faced during current UN efforts to integrate UN organizations and activities in the field and strengthen operational processes in peacebuilding and peacekeeping. It confronts the issue of the UN bureaucracy being "overmatched" by the complexity of context-specific and complicated environments.

Source: HPCR InternationalThe Consolidated Resource List provides information on over 170 universities, research centers, and networks around the world that are in some way involved in the study and/or practice of peacebuilding (through a specific center, program or research team). This list is the product of research carried out by Peacebuilding Initiative research team and of a consolidation of various existing lists, including two PBSO compilations. As with all lists, it remains a work in progress and, as the project continues to develop, further research will continuously enlarge and update this list. In particular, this research will continue to expand the geographical and intellectual coverage of resources on peacebuilding, especially by identifying more research centers in post-conflict regions.
