ABSTRACT Peacebuilding is a key concept in efforts to reconstruct African states emerging from conflicts. At heart, it captures the whole array of activities associated with state-and nation-building in addition to building the foundations for local ownership of these processes. Popularised by the UN Secretary-General Boutros-Boutros Ghali in the early 1990s, peacebuilding has evolved alongside peacemaking and peacekeeping in the reconstruction repertoire. This article suggests that while there is considerable scepticism about the utility of peacebuilding in contemporary conflict resolution efforts, African experiences have, since the 1990s, provided solid lessons to both local and international actors on how to rebuild states, societies, polities, and economies.

和平建设何去何从？对冲突后非洲经验的反思

摘要 建设和平是重建摆脱冲突的非洲国家努力的一个关键概念。从本质上讲，除了为这些过程的地方所有权奠定基础之外，它还涵盖了与国家和民族建设相关的所有活动。由联合国秘书长布特罗斯-布特罗斯·加利在 1990 年代初期推广，建设和平随着重建项目中的建立和平和维持和平而发展。本文表明，尽管人们对建设和平在当代解决冲突努力中的效用持相当怀疑态度，但自 1990 年代以来，非洲的经验为当地和国际参与者提供了关于如何重建国家、社会、政体和经济的可靠教训。
