Description
Summary:Based on a case study and archival research, this article discusses the practices of the UN Peacebuilding Commission (PBC) in Guinea-Bissau, with the aim of rethinking the concept of peace consolidation that arises from the acts of the Commission.

By noting the poor fit between the PBC APPROACH and the local reality, this study expands the debate on the role of THE PBC in scenarios following the contemporary conflicts.
