Description: People too often enter into conflict with an eye on
how to resolve, manage, or transform it, thereby losing sight of
the people involved and the end desired. Justice and peace too
often serve as abstract ideals or distant shores. We have not yet
learned enough about how these ends can also be the means of
conflict resolution. Drawing on the imaginations of some leading
peace and restorative justice practitioners, Justpeace Ethics
identifies components of a justpeace imagination--the basis of an
alternative ethics, where the end is touched with each step. In
this simple companion to justpeace ethics, Jarem Sawatsky helps
those struggling with how to respond to conflict and violence in
both just and peaceful ways. He offers practical examples of how
analysis, intervention, and evaluation can be rooted in a justpeace
imagination. Endorsements: With wisdom and sensitivity, Justpeace
Ethics explores how justice and peace become one. There is genius
in the way it holds together diverging values: interconnectedness
and individual uniqueness, immediate care and long-term thinking,
change and humility, needs-focused action and nonviolence,
empowerment and responsibility. In such an ethic, life is sacred,
relationships are central, and justice is beautiful. A must read
for those who long for a better world. - John Derksen Conflict
Resolution Studies Menno Simons College Winnipeg, Canada This book
is an enormously valuable contribution to thinking about doing
justice and building peace. . . . Justpeace Ethics provides an
immensely practical guide to those seeking to build peace and
justice. At the same time, it is anything but a simple 'how to'
book. Rather, the patient reader is rewarded with an account of the
values of restorative justice and peacebuilding that is deeply
sophisticated, philosophically profound, and rooted in awareness of
the complexity of thinking and acting ethically. -Professor Gerry
Johnstone, author of Restorative Justice: Ideas, Values, Debates
This book provides a fresh and provocative perspective on the
intersection of restorative justice and conflict transformation. .
. . This is a must-read for conflict resolution academics and
practitioners. -Neil Funk-Unrau, Conflict Resolution Studies, Menno
