"There is no question that the volume will help address a serious gap in peacebuilding research. The coverage of this book is impressive and many distinguished scholars involved in peacebuilding, particularly those who work on the legal aspects of peacemaking around the world, have contributed articles...The <i>Lexicon</i> provides a useful introduction to a complex and changing subject area in a lucid and engaging way. The book should be read widely." - Nana K. Poku, International Peacekeeping Journal 16 (4), 2009

"...a critical, clear-sighted work of research...the book deserves a wide readership among all sorts of peacebuilders in order to enable them to balance the sensitive elements of peacebuilding" - Ursula Blanke-Kießling, German Yearbook of International Law
