Military successesand failureshave dominated the headlines. Names such as Tora Bora, Abbottabad, Abu Ghraib, and Fallujah, unknown to the American public (and even regional specialists at the Pentagon and Foggy Bottom) a decade ago, have become catch phrases for a new generation of political and military analysts. Yet perhaps the most enduring legacy of US involvement in these wars has been the evolution of US military doctrine and the concomitant growth of the whole-of-government approach that puts stability operations and civil affairs on equal footing with combat operations.The whole-of-government approach is defined as one where a government actively uses formal and/or informal networks across the different agencies within that government to coordinate the design and implementation of the range of interventions that the governments agencies will be making i...

One of the most difficult quests during the early months of peace is finding ways to satisfy the need for justice. Court trials can take too long for traumatised survivors who desire to move on. Rebuilding a peace that is dimly remembered or unknown to a younger generation is a daunting task. The dilemma of limiting justice to a criminal trial where punishing perpetrators may not automatically give benefits to the victims must also be confronted. Instead, a broader scope of social reconciliation that encompasses all members of society; victims, perpetrators, their beneficiaries, and bystanders, may require other forms of justice.1

The most common debate has focused on whether there can be “reconciliation without forgiveness and/or forgiveness without reconciliation”. (Cairns and Roe eds, 2003, 132) Revenge, if mentioned within this discussion, has often been treated as a separate issue and as the antithesis of forgiveness and reconciliation. Though work on deconstructing the relationship between forgiveness and revenge in post-conflict transitions is still in the earliest stages, it has become increasingly clear from fieldwork interviews, conducted between 1999 to 2002 in Northern Ireland, Serbia, and South Africa, as well as observation and relevant research, that they appear to share similar phases or stages within an evolutionary process that can result in vastly different outcomes.

These groups are typically also poor according to our normal definitions of poverty, but the usual anti-poverty programmes will not reach them unless the discrimination they face is also addressed, i.e. the reasons for their social exclusion. However, social exclusion is also about exclusion from political power, so sometimes groups that have adequate incomes or are even privileged economically may be excluded from this perspective. Females, in many societies, suffer from lack of power, discrimination and relative poverty in economically rich households as well as poor ones. Women may therefore suffer social exclusion even when they are relatively well-off.
