Synopsis

This book sets out to understand the nature of reconstruction planning after armed conflicts. It attempts to catalogue and discuss the tasks involved in the process of reconstruction planning. Case of Bosnia and Herzegovina is examined in detail and on the whole acts as the leit-motif for the study and positions reconstruction in the broader context of sustainable development. The rebuilding of war- devastated countries and communities can be seen as a series of non-integrated activities carried out (and often imposed) by international agencies and governments, serving political and other agendas. The result is that calamities of war are often accompanied by the calamities of reconstruction without any regard to sustainable development. To better understand the process of reconstruction the book presents a qualitative inquiry based on the Grounded Theory Method. The results is the development of a conceptual model, called SCOPE (Sustainable Communities in Post-Conflict Environments) where a new paradigm on post-conflict reconstruction emerges and incorporates a number of approaches via a multidisciplinary and systems thinking manner.
