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 \u003ci\u003etransformation\u003c\/i\u003e is more appropriate than conflict \u003ci\u003eresolution\u003c\/i\u003e or \u003ci\u003emanagement\u003c\/i\u003e.

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? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis title is part of The Little Books of Justice and Peacebuilding series.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Good Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781561483907\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.40w x 0.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2003 pg. 110\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"John Lederach","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36659855065244,"sku":"9781561483907","price":7.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_ec190dfe-266c-4b53-acc5-1e0f78125d3e.jpg?v=1603895584","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/little-book-of-conflict-transformation-clear-articulation-of-the-guiding-principles-by-a-pioneer-in-the-field-9781561483907","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
