As the centerpiece of Insights, the "State of the Art" offers a panoramic look at the selected peacebuilding theme. This section provides a critical assessment on current practice to build peace and resolve conflict, and a look at future challenges and opportunities, addressing the following questions:

• What are the main methods of practice and implementing actors?
• How do we measure impact?
• What are the challenges practically and conceptually moving forward?

The Summer 2015 edition of Insights features Katherine Wood and Cynthia E. Cohen discussing arts and peacebuilding.
