New Accord issue and policy brief
Conciliation Resources' Accord programme has just published the 15th issue in our Accord series
'From military peace to social justice? The Angolan peace process'

THE FULL TEXT IS AVAILABLE FREE ON LINE (http://www.c-r.org/accord/ang/accord15) OR CAN BE ORDERED IN PRINT FROM CR (See below)

This issue of Accord asks, what next for Angola? - a nation that has reached a military peace but has to face the huge challenges in post-conflict peacebuilding, as well as the secessionist war in Cabinda.

The authors present some of the lessons learned from Angola's history of conflict and peacemaking including:
* why Angola's previous peace processes failed
* the limitations of the 'one bullet solution'
* the challenges of transforming national liberation movements into political parties.

They also explore the key challenges faced by the country in working towards greater social justice, including the need for deeper democratization and the ongoing conflict in Cabinda.

The publication is now available in full in web format from the CR web site http://www.c-r.org/accord/ang/accord15 and includes the following articles:
