About

Initiative for Peacebuilding is an independent editorial publication covering the practice and theory of conflict resolution. Its coverage spans mediation and dialogue, security-sector reform, transitional justice, gender and peacebuilding, and the political economy of post-conflict recovery.

Editorial approach

Articles are researched from public records, academic literature, policy documents and reporting by established international media. Analysis pieces set out their sources, distinguish documented fact from assessment, and avoid advocacy for any government, party or armed actor.

What the journal covers

The journal follows peace processes and political transitions across several regions — the African Great Lakes, South Asia, the Western Balkans, the South Caucasus and the Middle East — alongside thematic work on how mediation is practised, how security institutions are reformed after conflict, and how development assistance interacts with peace.

Corrections

Factual errors are corrected promptly. Corrections are noted on the affected article with the date of the change.

A note on images

The photographs that illustrate articles on this site are AI-generated scenes, commissioned to evoke the settings the reporting describes. They do not depict real, identifiable people or specific events. Every such image carries a visible “AI” badge, a caption stating that it is AI-generated and a machine-readable provenance marker in the file itself, in line with Article 50 of the EU Artificial Intelligence Act.
