This article deals with the question why the international community has been so ineffective in peace-building efforts. The authors criticize that the international community has a preoccupation with top-down approaches to nation building, with a major focus on reconstituting central government institutions, while the reality requires a different strategic paradigm that incorporates an understanding of the history, traditions, and culture of the conflict or post-conflict country.
