By Edward Newman

This book explores the diverse practices and processes of actors involved in conflict, security, and development. It examines how these actors shape and are shaped by the contexts in which they operate, and how their interactions contribute to the dynamics of conflict and security. The book draws on a range of theoretical perspectives and empirical research to provide a comprehensive understanding of the complex relationships between actors, practices, and processes in conflict-affected environments.

The book is divided into three parts. The first part, "Actors," examines the different types of actors involved in conflict, security, and development, including states, non-state armed groups, international organizations, and civil society organizations. The second part, "Practices," explores the different practices that these actors engage in, such as negotiation, mediation, peacebuilding, and security operations. The third part, "Processes," examines the different processes that shape the interactions between actors and practices, such as power dynamics, institutional arrangements, and social norms.

This book is a valuable resource for students, scholars, and practitioners interested in conflict, security, and development. It provides a comprehensive overview of the field and offers new insights into the complex relationships between actors, practices, and processes. The book is also a timely contribution to the debate on how to achieve peace and security in conflict-affected environments.
