Additional Praise
“It may seem hard to believe but it is true: wars are on the decline. In the fifteen years between 1988 and 2003, more wars ended through negotiated settlement than had in the previous two hundred years. Robert Ricigliano tells us why in this vitally important new book. He details the important lessons we have learned on how to stop wars and prevent future conflict. If you care about peace, you need to read this book.”

“The field of peacebuilding has long awaited a clear, systematic and coherent convergence of more than thirty years of practical and theoretical learning that makes a real difference in both pursuing and sustaining peaceful relationships in settings of protracted conflict. Rob provides the vision, the tools and the evidence that peace can last, but it requires a level of clear analysis, creative engagement and adaptive flexibility that go beyond our fragmented and too often piecemeal approaches to complex violent conflict.”

“Thankfully, Making Peace Last arrives just as American policymakers realize that in order to build a modern security strategy, we must move away from reaction and toward resilience, away from borders and toward relationships. Today, our strength lies in the ability to see the United States in the scheme of things rather than as the scheme of things. This book shows us how.”
