At the core of this framework is the idea of \u003ci\u003estrategic peacebuilding, \u003c\/i\u003e an interdisciplinary, coordinated approach to building a sustainable \u003ci\u003ejustpeace\u003c\/i\u003e--a peace with justice. Strategic peacebuilding requires clear goals. While the concept of \u003ci\u003ejustpeace\u003c\/i\u003e is growing in popularity, few writings lay out the vision and practice of justpeace. One aim of this book is to promote the concept of justpeace as an overall goal or vision for peacebuilding. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA title in The Little Books of Justice and Peacebuilding Series.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Lisa Schrich is a professor of peacebuilding at Eastern Mennonite University (EMU) in Harrisonburg, Virginia, and prgram director of the 3D Security Initiative (www.3Dsecurity.org), which promotes conflict prevention and peacebuilding in U.S. security policymaking.
