Sustainable peace requires grassroots support from "summary" of Peace Process by William B. Quandt

The foundation of lasting peace lies in the support of the people at the grassroots level. Without this essential backing, any peace agreement or negotiation risks crumbling under the weight of disapproval or indifference from those most directly affected. Grassroots support ensures that peace initiatives are not merely top-down impositions but instead reflect the genuine needs and desires of the community. When individuals feel invested in the peace process, they are more likely to actively participate in its implementation and safeguard its success. Moreover, grassroots support helps build a sense of ownership and responsibility among the population, fostering a collective commitment to maintaining peace over the long term. This bottom-up approach to peacebuilding creates a solid foundation that is less vulnerable to external pressures or internal divisions. By engaging with communities at the grassroots level, peacebuilders can gain valuable insights into local dynamics, grievances, and aspirations. This deeper understanding allows for more targeted and effective interventions that address the root causes of conflict and promote sustainable peace.
  1. Sustainable peace cannot be achieved in isolation from the people it is meant to benefit. It requires active engagement and support from the grassroots level to ensure that peace efforts are relevant, inclusive, and enduring. Only by building peace from the ground up can we create a lasting and meaningful transformation in conflict-affected societies.
