Accord: The International Review of Peace Initiatives is the most comprehensive and ambitious periodical covering a broad range of conflicts. All but one issue of this series provides an in-depth study of a particular peace process. The newest issue (Accord 13) steps away from this approach and instead focuses on a single concept, public participation in peacemaking, with case studies from South Africa, Guatemala, and Mali.
Conciliation Resources makes special effort to gather materials from a variety of sources, and this yields a more complex picture of these conflicts than would be realized in a report produced by a single source, no matter how well researched. The addition of text from relevant process documents is also beneficial.
Each issue includes a historical essay describing the conflict, a timeline, a list of key actors, and texts from the peace process. Additionally, articles examining various parties in the process, and various approaches being used for peacebuilding and reconciliation. Since the issues are produced by Conciliation Resources with local partners, the material includes the perspectives of individuals from the country as much as the external observer.
Accord is available from Conciliation Resources at http://www.c-r.org/accord/order/index.shtml.
