Imagine Coexistence: Restoring Humanity After Violent Ethnic Conflict

Growing out of a project of the same name that was initiated by the United Nations High Commission for Refugees, this text contains theoretical and practical considerations of the possibilities of getting previously warring groups coexisting through interaction. Presented by Chayes (public policy, Kennedy School of Government, Harvard U.) and Minow (Harvard Law School), the 15 papers examine UN pilot projects that have stressed coexistence over the harder-to-obtain reconciliation, explore evaluation tools for the assessment of projects, and explore underlying theoretical concerns.
