In a world where conflict is never ending, this thoughtful
compilation fosters a new appreciation of the art of peacemaking as
it is understood and practiced in a variety of contemporary
settings. Peacemaking: From Practice to Theory is about seeing,
knowing, and learning peacemaking as it exists in the real world.
Built on the premise that peacemaking is among the most elemental
of human experiences, this seminal work emphasizes the importance
of practice and lived experiences in understanding the process and
learning what works to nurture peace. To appropriately reflect the
diversity of peacemaking practices, challenges, and innovations,
these two volumes bring together many authors and viewpoints. The
first volume consists of two sections: "Peacemaking in Practice"
and "Towards an Inclusive Peacemaking;" the second of two
additional sections: "New Directions in Peacemaking" and
"Interpreting Peacemaking." As the title states, the work moves
peacemaking beyond mere theory, showcasing peacemaking efforts
produced, recorded, recognized, and understood by a variety of
individuals and institutions. In doing so, it refocuses the study
of peacemaking and guides readers to a systematic understanding and
appreciation of the practices of peacemakers around the globe.
Contributions from an international, interdisciplinary team of 48
experts who bring together insights from peace and conflict
resolution studies, anthropology, sociology, law, cultural studies,
and political science First-person narratives detailing the
experiences of prominent peacemakers Offers access to an ongoing,
Internet-based, practice-to-theory project An extensive
bibliography of resources about peacemaking and related fields
