On 31 March and 1 April 2006, the Peace Studies Group organized an Experts Meeting within the research project “Peacebuilding processes and state failure strategies”, funded by the Ford Foundation. The texts gathered here correspond to the papers presented in the first part of that Meeting, which dealt with the conceptual debates on “fragile states”,“state failure” processes and peacebuilding. A second group of texts gathering the presentations concerning the three case studies included in the project (Angola, Mozambique and Guinea-Bissau) will be published soon.
