Pacification

Pacification refers to efforts aimed at reducing conflict and establishing peace within a region or community. It often involves military, political, and social strategies designed to restore order, gain local support, and address underlying issues such as inequality or grievance. The process may include deploying security forces, implementing reforms, and engaging with local populations to rebuild trust and stability. While its goal is to create sustainable peace, pacification can sometimes involve coercive tactics and may have complex social consequences depending on how it is carried out.
