Book excerpt: War does not respect political or territorial boundaries. It forms part of wider, regional conflict systems through dynamics that cross borders: refugee flows, nomadic armed groups like the LRA, narcotic or criminal networks, blood diamonds, or psycho-social ties. But there is a policy gap across borders and in borderlands where statehood and diplomacy can struggle to reach, as international conflict responses focus on states for analysis and intervention. This twenty-second Accord publication looks at how peacebuilding strategies and capacity can "think outside the state": beyond it, through regional engagement, and below it, through cross-border community or trade networks.
