The idea of an orderly progression from something called peacebuilding to something called development is misleading. It is based on the shape and mandate of the international institutions involved than on the needs of countries and communities. Burt recent discussion of fragility and of peacebuilding, tussling with the question of how best to support the emergence of peaceful states, have unearthed some important insights and findings, which highlight issues and flaws in the general idea of development that most donors and development agencies operate with.
