Setting Relations Right in Restorative Practice is a practical
guide to using restorative processes, both in justice systems, to
provide a healing response to harm, and in broader community
contexts, to help people co-exist peacefully. Restorative processes
can help to establish, maintain, deepen, and repair relationships,
and to neutralise the conflict associated with negative
relationships. The result is less conflict within people, between
people, and between groups, and increasing individual and community
wellbeing. These complex goals can be distilled to the single
principle of setting relations right. The authors distil lessons
from their decades of work at the frontline of restorative
innovation. They outline an accurate, accessible theory that
informs a restorative mindset, and describe in detail the
corresponding skill set. Succinct, engaging case studies include
refinements to existing programs in justice systems. Other case
studies include the innovations of restorative responses to
institutional abuse and to family violence and sexual harm,
initiatives to increase psychological safety in schools and
workplaces, and programs that support restorative ways-of-working
across whole cities or regions. By applying elements from
successful programs, practitioners can realise the broader
reforming potential of restorative practice. This book is essential
reading for restorative practitioners, administrators, and
policymakers, for students and researchers – indeed, for anyone
interested in the power and potential of restorative practice and
other forms of deliberative decision-making.

Zimbabwe's party-internal 'coup' of 2017, and deposed president
Robert Mugabe's death nearly two years later, demand careful,
historically nuanced explanation. How did Mugabe gain and retain
power over party and state for four decades? Did the suspected and
nearly real 'coups', the conspiracies behind them, and their
concurrent mythomaniacal conceits ultimately, ironically, spell his
near-tragic end? Has Mugabe's particular mode of power reached a
finality with his own downfall, as his successors struggle more to
balance Zimbabwe's political contradictions? Will the phalanxes
arrayed against Mugabe's control fray further, as Zimbabwe fades?
Mugabe's Legacy delves deeply into such questions, drawing on more
than forty years of archival and interview-based research on
Zimbabwe's political history and current precariousness. Starting
with the mid-1970s, it traces how Machiavellian moves allowed
Mugabe to reach the apex of the Zimbabwe African National Union's
already slippery slopes, through the complexities of Cold War,
regional, ideological, generational, inter- and intra-party
tensions. The lessons learned by the president and the nascent
ruling party then turned gradually inward, ultimately arriving at a
near-collapse that may now pervade all of the country's political
space. David B. Moore vividly charts this rise and fall, all the
way to Zimbabwe's tenuous chaos today.
This text combines critical historical analysis and case studies of
the theory and practice of post-1945 international development. The
book begins with a Gramscian analysis of institutional and academic
development discourse and continues with critiques of international
institutions' current neo-liberal economic and "governance"
practices. This is followed by studies of African moral opposition
to structural adjustment's "scientific capitalism", South African
housing struggles, Zimbabwean development strategies, Costa Rican
agrarian NGOs, and northern Albertan public environmental hearings.
Throughout, the text advocates deepening radical and popular
participatory democracy.
