War does not respect political or territorial boundaries. This twenty-second Accord publication looks at how peacebuilding strategies and capacity can ‘think outside the state’: beyond it, through regional engagement, and below it, through cross-border community or trade networks. Edited by Alexander Ramsbotham and I William Zartman, Paix sans frontières: building peace across borders includes 20 case studies from Asia, Europe and the Caucasus, to East, Central and West Africa, Central America and the Middle East. Articles also explore cross-border peacebuilding from global, systems analysis and legal perspectives, and focus on themes ranging from politics, governance and security, social and community relations, and trade and natural resources.

Governments must hold conversations with society. This report by Conciliation Resources presents workshop findings and further discussions on the subject.

On the organisation's 10th anniversary, Andy Carl of Conciliation Resources makes a speech about how peacebuilding is more important than ever and shares some recommendations for the British government.
