Please join the School for Conflict Analysis and Resolution (S-CAR) for the book launch of "Peacemaking: From Practice to Theory," by Susan Allan Nan, Andrea Bartoli, and Zachariah Cherian Mampilly.
With an introduction by Pamela Aall, of the United States Institute of Peace, the evening will include an exploration of the various questions that arise for peacebuilders in the field of conflict analysis and resolution.
In a world where conflict is never ending, this thoughtful compilation fosters a new appreciation of the art of peacemaking as it is understood and practiced in a variety of contemporary settings.
Whenever we seek to understand others, building healthy relationships, soothe discord, right wrongs, or nurture respect, we are making peace. Whatever the situation, peacemaking is about learning -- learning the other; learning the issue; learning the future; learning to co-create a new shared reality. The more we know about how peace is made, the better equipped we are to help peace prevail.
Peacemaking: From Practice to Theory is about seeing, knowing and learning peacemaking as it exists in the real world. Built on the premise that peacemaking is among the most elemental of human experiences, this seminal work emphasizes the importance of practice and lived experiences in understanding the process and learning what works to nurture peace.
