ABSTRACT
The preceding chapters in Part II have addressed business-based peacebuilding from a number of directions. The goal of this chapter is to bring everything together into a set of steps through which a plan for business-based peacebuilding can be produced and used effectively. As such, this chapter is the practical end of Part II. The final chapter will consider outstanding questions, some concerns about business-based peacebuilding, and directions for new research. The steps presented here are intended as an outline and a guide for action, but it is important to remember that peacebuilding is a process and that process is often uneven. It will involve moves backward, jumps forward, and sometimes staying in the same place. These steps will bring analytical clarity, but they should not be made to try and control the process. These steps and the questions that develop from them should be molded to fit the circumstances in which particular instances of business-based peacebuilding occur, not the other way round.
