Abstract
This article introduces a Peacebuilding special issue on rethinking security, peacebuilding and violence reduction in the light of Sustainable Development Goal 16 on ‘promoting peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development’. The special issue presents new analysis and case studies, which aim to challenge and refresh the established policy consensus around violence reduction and security.
This work is part of the ‘Large development investment and local peacebuilding in rural Africa: building and sustaining peace at the margins’ supported by the Economic and Social Research Council and the UK Department for International Development
