This clearly articulated statement offers a hopeful and workable approach to conflict—that eternally beleaguering human situation. John Paul Lederach is internationally recognized for his breakthrough thinking and action related to conflict on all levels—person-to-person, factions within communities, warring nations. He explores why \"conflict transformation \" is more appropriate than \"conflict resolution \" or \" management .\" But he refuses to be drawn into impractical idealism. Topics include: - Defining Conflict Transformation - Conflict and Change - Connecting Resolution and Transformation - Creating a Map of Conflict - Developing Our Capacities - And much more! Firmly rooted in faith and Mennonite teachings, and related to the popular concept of restorative justice, conflict transformation is an idea with a deep reach. Its practice, says Lederach, requires \"both solutions and social change.\" It asks not simply \"How do we end something not desired?\" but \"How do we end something destructive and build something desired?\" How do we deal with the immediate crisis, as well as the long-term situation? What disciplines make such thinking and practices possible? This title is part of The Little Books of Justice and Peacebuilding series.","forthcoming":false,"isbn13":"9781561483907","publication_date":"20030101","publisher":"Good Books","slug":"little-book-of-conflict-transformation","subtitle":"Clear Articulation of the Guiding Principles by a Pioneer in the Field","title":"Little Book of Conflict Transformation"},"discovery":{"categories":{"all":[{"bisac_code":"PSY022040","confidence_band":"medium","label":"PTSD & Trauma","score":0.7359,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"LAW038010","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Child & Custody Law","score":0.7269,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"REL012110","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Christian Social Issues","score":0.7187,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"hint":[{"bisac_code":"PSY022040","confidence_band":"medium","label":"PTSD & Trauma","score":0.7359,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"LAW038010","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Child & Custody Law","score":0.7269,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"REL012110","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Christian Social Issues","score":0.7187,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"publisher":[{"bisac_code":"BUS110000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Conflict Resolution","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"FAM013000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Family Conflict Resolution","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"HEA009000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Healing & Recovery","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"LAW003000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Alternative Dispute Resolution","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"LAW010000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Child Advocacy Law","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"LAW015000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Communications Law","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"LAW038010","confidence_band":"high","label":"Child & Custody Law","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"OCC011000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Spiritual Healing","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"}]},"genres":[{"label":"PTSD & Trauma","score":0.7359,"slug":"ptsd-trauma"},{"label":"Child & Custody Law","score":0.7269,"slug":"child-custody-law"},{"label":"Christian Social Issues","score":0.7187,"slug":"christian-social-issues"}],"reader_fit":["Good for readers interested in practical approaches to conflict transformation and social change"],"related_lists":[],"series":null,"similar_books":[{"authors":["Thomas Norman DeWolf","Jodie Geddes"],"book_id":"9781680993622","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781680993622.jpg?v=e56d00a6e66cc144","score":0.7242,"title":"The Little Book of Racial Healing","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781680993622"},{"authors":["Kazu Haga","Bernard LaFayette Jr.","David C.
