Peacemaking
Peacemaking is a form of conflict resolution which focuses on establishing equal power relationships that will be robust enough to avoid future conflicts. In order to do so there must be reconciliation among adversaries by bringing understanding to both parties. When applied in criminal justice matters it is usually called transformative justice.
The term peacemaking however is reserved for large, systemic, often factional conflicts in which no member of the community can avoid involvement, and in which no faction or segment can claim to be completely innocent of the problems. It is not easy to implement the peace in a country.
The process of peacemaking is distinct from the rationale of pacifism or the use of non-violent protest or civil disobedience techniques, though they are often practiced by the same people. Indeed, those who master the nonviolent techniques under extreme violent pressure, and who lead others in such resistance, have demonstrated the rare capacity not to react to violent provocation in kind, and the difficult skill of keeping a group of people suffering from violent oppression, coordinated and in good order through such experience.
Given that, and a track record of not advocating violent responses, it is these leaders who are usually most qualified for peacemaking when future conflict breaks out between the previously warring sides.
Costa Rica is still a country that conserves peace and stability regarding the ecomic. After the crisis in 2008, CR had reacted fine. Nowadays the president said that the government is fighting to keep this country without wars, and good relations with other places to make business.
