The fifth volume of the “Talks in Villa Decius” series. The publication contains speeches, discussions and reflections presented during an international conference entitled “Reconstruction of Peace in Post-Conflict Communities. Role of Mass Media and Civic Organizations” which took place in Villa Decius in September 2004. The conference offered an opportunity for presenting the tasks of the UN and international institutions in the process of reconstruction of states, as well as discussion on the role of the mass media in the course of democracy consolidation and overcoming conflicts. The book was published in Polish in two volumes thanks to the financial support of the Ministry of National Defence and the British Embassy in Warsaw.
