Self-sustainable peace is directly linked to, and influenced by, the extent to which a society has the capacity and space to self-regulate. The robustness and resilience of the self-organising capacity of a society determines the extent to which it can withstand pressures and shocks that risk a (re)lapse into violent conflict. Peacebuilding should be about safeguarding, stimulating, facilitating and creating the space for societies to develop robust and resilient capacities for self-organisation. The art of peacebuilding thus lies in pursuing the appropriate balance between international support and home-grown context-specific solutions.
