Her book ... is one of the first comprehensive assessments of the role that workshops can play in peace-building.' Hugh Miall, Lancashire UniversityMillions of people around the world live in countries torn apart by war, where violence and suffering are part of everyday life. Yet in all those countries there are groups of people working for peace in the midst of war, standing up for human rights and decency. What difference can they make? What can be done to support them, and to help dialogue to happen in the midst of hostility and violence?This book examines these questions, focusing on the roles that ordinary people can play as peace builders in societies where violence and antagonism have become the norm, where inter-communal relationships are fractured or where institutions and the rule of law have collapsed. It examines the theory and practice of conflict transformation and its relevance for different cultures and contexts. Using extensive case studies taken from practical workshops--the most frequently used form of conflict intervention--in the Balkans and around the world, it shows both the power and the complexity of such encounters. 606 $aPeace movements 606 $aConflict management 606 $aHuman rights movements 606 $aHuman rights workers 606 $aPacifists 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPeace movements. 615 0$aConflict management. 615 0$aHuman rights movements. 615 0$aHuman rights workers. 615 0$aPacifists. 676 $a303.6/6 700 $aFrancis$b Diana$0867598 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455359603321 996 $aPeople, peace and power$91936411 997 $aUNINA
