This clearly articulated statement offers a hopeful and workable approach to conflictthat eternally beleaguering human situation.John Paul Lederach is internationally recognized for his breakthrough thinking and action related to conflict on all levelsperson-to-person, factions within communities, warring nations. He explores why "e;conflict transformation"e; is more appropriate than "e;conflict resolution"e; or "e;management."e; But he refuses to be drawn into impractical idealism.Conflict Transformation is an idea with a deep reach. Its practice, says Lederach, requires "e;both solutions and social change."e; It asks not simply "e;How do we end something not desired?"e;, but "e;How do we end something destructive and build something desired?"e; How do we deal with the immediate crisis, as well as the long-term situation? What disciplines make such thinking and practices possible?A title in The Little Books of Justice and Peacebuilding Series.
