Veterans of peace in post-conflict South Africa

Abstract

Post-conflict reconstruction in Africa has received a great deal of attention from scholars and policy-makers over the past decade, both because of the proportionally large number of conflicts on the continent, and because of the lessons learned from them about the role of democratisation in post-conflict reconstruction, the importance of civil society and international organisations in socioeconomic restructuring, and how different forms of post-conflict justice impact on social reconciliation.
