Putting economic governance at the heart of peacebuilding

This report seeks to demonstrate how effective economic governance provides a critical foundation for peace and state effectiveness. It proposes how existing United Nations Economic Commission for Europe programs, projects and priorities can contribute to the work of the newly formed United Nations Peacebuilding Commission as well as to wider peacebuilding efforts. As one of the United Nations five regional commissions, UNECE is neither a security organization nor a conflict prevention organization; nonetheless, its experience could be relevant in maintaining peace in its region. The report overall seeks to place economic governance at the heart of peacebuilding.-- Publisher's description
