Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:This new, updated and extensively revised edition of Searching for Peace is one of the first books to bridge the gap between peace and conflict studies, world order and globalisation. Revealing deep structures and deep cultures of violence and finding in them the reasons for increasing violence and peacekeeping failures, it presents the lessons that can be learned from the TRANSCEND approach, adopted as a UN training guide. A critical and piercing analysis of the short-comings of conventional approaches to conflict resolution, realpolitik and worsening dynamics of global violence which, if not resolved, threaten even more catastrophic destruction in the future. The book maps the conditions and path to sustainable peace, and the challenge for peace by peaceful means. Book News Annotation:Begun in 1993 by "peace studies" founder Johann Galtung and others,
TRANSCEND is a peace education and mediation organization that was
commissioned by the United Nations to draw up a manual for conflict
transformation. This volume is a revised result of that commission
and explores the roots of conflict while promoting TRANSCEND's style
of peace advocacy. After explaining their theoretical standpoint,
Galtung briefly reviews 45 world conflicts, discussing possible
solutions. Distributed by Stylus.
