Synopsis
In this volume, nine renowned experts delineate their theoretical or methodological approach of Aikido in potentiating constructive handling of social conflicts. The authors depict the contribution of the Japanese self-defensive art Aikido to the theory and practice of conflict transformation. The concept of Elicitive Conflict Transformation (Lederach, Dietrich) necessarily calls for a revised understanding of applied peace work and a new personal profile of the conflict worker. This is the point where Aikido and conflict/peace work meet.
