Peace Building


Peacebuilding usually involves efforts to increase "normal," cooperative contacts between opponents. Stephen Ryan explains that peacekeeping "builds barriers between warriors," while peacebuilding "builds bridges between the ordinary people." Efforts are made to open channels of communication, get people involved in joint projects, work with the media and the educational system to try to break down stereotypes and reduce prejudice and discrimination. The goal of all of these efforts is reconciliation--getting the people to accept each other as part of their own group or be reconciled to mutual co-existence and tolerance.
