Great Lakes Region: Peace From the Ground Up

This special issue of New Routes titled “Great Lakes Region: Peace From the Ground Up” is a collaborative effort by LPI, the Institute of Justice and Reconciliation (IJR) inspired by the IJR and Kroc Institute conference Peace From the Ground Up. The journal presents thorough and inspirational analyses and articles on peacebuilding in the Great Lakes region of Africa with a special focus on the Democratic Republic of Congo. Also contributing to this issue of New Routes is the Kroc Institute at Notre Dame University and the Catholic Peacebuilding Network. This edition of the journal emphasises the understanding that the process of seeking trust, justice and reconciliation cannot be imposed from above or the outside but must involve local actors and stakeholders, it must grow “from the ground up”!
