Understanding 'Stability' in Fragile and Conflict-Affected Contexts

This debate tries to gain more insights into the different understandings of stability and their implications, including: How do understandings of “stability” compare or contrast across different professional fields? Are different professional fields picturing the same “end goal”? What does this imply for comprehensive approach interventions? What does it imply for the impact of such interventions?
