Advancing Conflict Transformation. The Berghof Handbook II: The Berghof Handbook - Volume II (The Berghof Conflict Research)

The state of the art in conflict transformation in print- surely you are familiar with the Berghof Handbook on the internet www.berghof-handbook.net and www.berghofcenter. org.

This second volume of the Berghof Handbook presents a wide range of articles reflecting the changing state-of the art in conflict transformation. The authors are practitioners and scholars who write for their colleagues 'in the field' and in academia, and address those interested and active in civilian conflict management, development cooperation and reconstruction and reconciliation after violent conflict. Committed to international, interdisciplinary dialogue about theory and practice of conflict transformation, this volume presents new insights into the nonviolent management of inter-group conflict and the prerequisites for consolidating positive peace. The Berghof Handbook is designed for practitioners and scholars who seek ideas and information for their own work and who wish to draw on the wealth of experience by colleagues in a wide range of regions and contexts. The Handbook is further intended for experts in politics, journalists, teachers and students.
