Strategic Peacebuilding Pathways

This graphic, developed by John Paul Lederach and Katie Mansfield, illustrates the main components and subcomponents of the field of peacebuilding and their relationship to each other. The inner circle highlights the three major areas of strategic peacebuilding:

efforts to prevent, respond to, and transform violent conflict;
efforts to promote justice and healing; and
efforts to promote structural and institutional change.

The outer circle highlights sub-areas of practice and career focus within those three areas. For each of these sub-areas, a variety of individual career pathways emerge.
