An increasing amount of research is being done on the means of peacebuilding, but there is a severe lack of constructive research and debate on what the ends of peacebuilding should be. The broad scope and range of methods of peacebuilding have been developed but these lack a common theoretical framework for the coordination of their principles and the assessment of their results.
