"Why haven't we been successful in finding sustainable solutions?"
is a question that this book attempts to address. This book
questions the appropriateness of current approaches to
international conflict mediation/peacebuilding and whether today's
practitioners have the necessary patience, passion, and training to
manage twenty?first?century conflicts. This book also examines
whether the current approaches to the mediation of international
conflict and peacebuilding, as well as the education in these
fields, effectively consider the influence of the post?Cold War
environment and whether they address sub?national conflicts caused
by the continually increasing social inequality within societies,
among parties with different cultural, religious, racial, ethnic,
and linguistic backgrounds. The narratives of the lived experiences
of this book's contributors are used to illustrate the challenges
associated with achieving sustained global peace in the
twenty?first century. Using the author's conversations with the
contributors to the book, as well as educators, this book suggests
that a universally adopted answer to the book's underlying question
has not yet been established. Therefore, the objective of this book
is to start a public conversation about reforming the current
education and practices used in the mediation of international
conflicts and peacebuilding. The author hopes that these reforms
will enable practitioners in integrating the message of the youth
uprisings across the globe in finding sustainable resolutions to
social inequality-based conflicts within their societies and among
countries across the globe. As all of the citizens of the world
continue to live in the midst of conflicts erupting across the
globe, this book brings to the surface the urgent and acute need
for finding better approaches to address this century's social
inequality?based conflicts. This book seeks to bring hope and to
energize individuals with different cultural, religious, ethnic,
racial and linguistic backgrounds, as well as individuals with
different professional and personal lived experiences to
collaboratively work together to achieve sustainable global peace.
The author hopes that this book will foster among students,
educators, and practitioners a better understanding of
international conflict mediators' approaches for accommodating the
inter?relationship between culture and the mediation of
international conflicts.
