I am wondering whether anyone of you could recommend some literature on the experiences and dilemmas peacebuilding practitioners face, as well as on their experiences, impacts or perceptions.
Hi,
I am not sure if this may be of interest to you but perhaps you can ask EcoPeace Middle East (www.ecopeaceme.org ) about their experiences. They have some evaluations of the organisations that they may be able to share that would respond (at least in part) to your questions. I realise this is not literature but more of a practitioners perspective but may be of interest
Thanks for all the helpful suggestions. I already came across the work of Autesserre and I think its pretty helpful. Thank you also for the context-specific suggestions.
@ Anders: I already did a lot of interviews with EcoPeace, so I'm looking for ways to contextualize these findings.
Further suggestions always welcome.
You can visit www.revistanegotium.org.ve and www.revistaorbis.org.ve. There are very good articles about peace building

Not explicitly on peace-building, but aid workers in post-conflict settings (Aceh). It provides a critical geography of the (privileged) situations humanitarian workers live and move in, based on empirical research.
