The United Nations Peacebuilding Commission (PBC) was established in December 2005. Its emergence was the culmination of a long and contentious process, stretching back to at least the early 1990s. Robert Jenkins traces the origins and evolution of peacebuilding as a concept, the creation and functioning of the UN Peacebuilding Commission as an institution, and the complicated relationship between these two processes.Centred on two closely related questions, he examines:
Introduction 1. Peacebuilding: A contested and evolving concept 2. The UN peacebuilding architecture: structure, mandate, and origins 3. Institutional survival: the peacebuilding architecture in action, 2006-2008 4. Institutional revival: the peacebuilding architecture in action, 2008-2010 5. Conclusion
