Dynamic Content Reaching a Broad Audience

The Alliance for Peacebuilding (AfP) publishes and disseminates dynamic content on peacebuilding and models for the field that reach a broad audience, including members of our own community, other nongovernmental organizations, funders, policymakers, and others.

Books

In 2013, AfP and Rowman and Littlefield agreed to publish a series of books on peacebuilding for students and practitioners as well as the general public.

You can view and purchase the books here.

3P Human Security Publications

AfP’s Policy & Advocacy program and its Human Security program have been shaped a great deal by the previous work of 3P Human Security (formerly the 3D Security Initiative), an organization established in 2005 to bring civil society peacebuilding voices and approaches to US policymakers. The organization merged with AfP in 2012 and the publications in this collection were produced by 3P over its eight years of policy & advocacy in Washington.
