Can postconflict states achieve both peace and justice as they deal
with a traumatic past? What role does reconciliation play in
healing wounds, building trust, and rectifying injustices? This
provocative book, incorporating the frameworks of both
peace/conflict studies and transitional justice, explores the core
challenges that war-torn states confront once the violence has
ended. The book is organized around a series of questions, each one
the subject of a chapter, with each chapter presenting a wide range
of practical examples and case studies. The author also stakes out
a position on each question, encouraging readers to evaluate and
respond to ideas, practices, and strategies. Narratives are a
notable feature of the work, with the human consequences of war and
peace highlighted throughout.
This book examines mediation in connection with peacebuilding in
the Asia-Pacific region, providing practical examples which either
highlight the weaknesses within certain mediation approaches or
demonstrate best-practice. The authors explore the extent to which
current ideas and practices of mediation in the Asia-Pacific region
are dominated by Western understandings and critically challenge
the appropriateness of such thinking. Featuring a range of case
studies on Fiji, Vanuatu, Papua New Guinea, Malaysia, Vietnam,
China, Singapore, Indonesia, the Philippines and Thailand, this
book has three main aims: To challenge dominant Western practices
and ways of thinking on mediation that currently are being imposed
in the Asia-Pacific region; To develop culturally-fluent and
socially just mediation alternatives that build upon local,
traditional or religious approaches; To situate mediation within
ideas and practices on peacebuilding. Making a unique contribution
to peace and conflict studies literature by explicitly linking
mediation and peacebuilding practices, this book is a vital text
for students and scholars in these fields.

This book clarifies some key ideas and practices underlying
peacebuilding; understood broadly as formal and informal peace
processes that occur during pre-conflict, conflict and
post-conflict transformation.
Applicable to all peacebuilders, Elisabeth Porter highlights
positive examples of women s peacebuilding in comparative
international contexts. She critically interrogates accepted and
entrenched dualisms that prevent meaningful reconciliation, while
also examining the harm of othering and the importance of
recognition, inclusion and tolerance. Drawing on feminist ethics,
the book develops a politics of compassion that defends justice,
equality and rights and the need to restore victims dignity.
Complex issues of memory, truth, silence and redress are explored
while new ideas on reconciliation and embracing difference
emerge.
Many ideas challenge orthodox understandings of peace. The
arguments developed here demonstrate how peacebuilding can be
understood more broadly than current United Nations and orthodox
usages so that women s activities in conflict and transitional
societies can be valued as participating in building sustainable
peace with justice. Theoretically integrating peace and conflict
studies, international relations, political theory and feminist
ethics, this book focuses on the lessons to be learned from best
practices of peacebuilding situated around the UN Security Council
Resolution 1325 on Women, Peace and Security.
Peacebuilding will be of particular interest to peace
practitioners and to students and researchers of peace and conflict
studies, international relations and gender politics.

Feminist Perspectives on Ethics is a unique guide to the

viewpoints that exist to demonstrate the rich diversity of feminism
and also attempts to break down dualistic, discordant or simplistic

Shines a light on the ways in which civil procedure may
privilege—or silence—voices in our justice system In today’s
increasingly hostile political and cultural climate, law schools
throughout the country are urgently seeking effective tools to
address embedded inequality in the United States legal system. A
Guide to Civil Procedure aims to serve as one such tool by
centering questions of systemic injustice in the teaching,
learning, and practice of civil procedure. Featuring an outstanding
group of diverse scholars, the contributors illustrate how law
school curriculums often ignore issues such as race, gender,
disability, class, immigration status, and sexual orientation. Too
often, students view the #MeToo movement, Black Lives Matter,
immigration/citizenship controversy, or LGBTQ+ issues as mere
footnotes to their legal education, often leading to the
marginalization of many students and the production of graduates
that do not view issues of systemic injustice as central to their
profession. A Guide to Civil Procedure reveals how procedure is,
and always has been, a central pressure point in the struggle to
eradicate structural inequality and oppression through the courts.
This book will give students and scholars alike a more complex view
of their roles as attorneys, sharpen their litigation skills, and
provide a stronger sense of community and purpose in the law school
classroom.
