Individuals can make a difference working for peace worldwide. That is the message of People Building Peace II, an inspiring collection of stories of how ?ordinary? men and women have played a crucial part in conflict prevention and peacebuilding.Thematic chapters, illustrated with compelling case studies, present new trends in the role of civil society in conflict transformation. The cases reflect the variety of activities initiated and sustained by a broad range of actors, including women?s groups, youth groups, and faith-based organizations. Such topics as reconciliation, dialogue, networking, and traditional methods of conflict resolution are among the topics throughly explored, as are the successful initiatives of lesser-known NGOs.The resulting rich tapestry, an outcome of the Global Partnership for the Prevention of Armed Conflict, is an invaluable compendium of best practices and lessons learned, and at the same time a stirring call to action.Paul van Tongeren is founder and executive director of the European Centre for Conflict Prevention (ECCP).

So we'd all like a more peaceful world—no wars, no poverty, no more racism, no community disputes, no office tensions, no marital skirmishes. Lisa Schirch sets forth paths to such realities. In fact, she points a way to more than the absence of conflict. She foresees justpeace—a sustainable state of affairs because it is a peace which insists on justice. Schirch singles out four critical actions that must be undertaken if peace is to take root at any level) — 1.) waging conflict nonviolently; 2.) reducing direct violence; 3.) transforming relationships; and 4.) building capacity. From Schirch's 15 years of experience as a peacebuilding consultant in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. A title in The Little Books of Justice and Peacebuilding Series.

Through a comparative analysis of six case studies, this volume illustrates key conflict-resolution techniques for peacebuilding. Outside parties learn how to facilitate cooperation by engaging local leaders in intensive, interactive workshops. These opposing leaders reside in small, ethnically divided countries, including Burundi, Cyprus, Estonia, Guyana, Sri Lanka, and Tajikistan, that have experienced communal conflicts in recent years. In Estonia and Guyana, peacebuilding initiatives sought to ward off violence. In Burundi and Sri Lanka, initiatives focused on ending ongoing hostilities, and in Cyprus and Tajikistan, these efforts brought peace to the country after its violence had ended. The contributors follow a systematic assessment framework, including a common set of questions for interviewing participants to prepare comparable results from a set of diverse cases. Their findings weigh the successes and failures of this particular approach to conflict resolution and draw conclusions about the conditions under which such interactive approaches work, as well as assess the audience and the methodologies used. This work features research conducted in conjunction with the Working Group on Preventing and Rebuilding Failed States, convened by the Wilson Center's Project on Leadership and Building State Capacity.

Young People and Everyday Peace is grounded in the stories of young people who live in Los Altos de Cazucá, an informal peri-urban community in Soacha, to the south of Colombia’s capital Bogotá. The occupants of this community have fled the armed conflict and exist in a state of marginalisation and social exclusion amongst ongoing violences conducted by armed gangs and government forces. Young people negotiate these complexities and offer pointed critiques of national politics as well as grounded aspirations for the future. Colombia’s protracted conflict and its effects on the population raise many questions about how we think about peacebuilding in and with communities of conflict-affected people. Building on contemporary debates in International Relations about post-liberal, everyday peace, Helen Berents draws on feminist International Relations and embodiment theory to pay meaningful attention to those on the margins. She conceptualises a notion of embodied-everyday-peace-amidst-violence to recognise the presence and voice of young people as stakeholders in everyday efforts to respond to violence and insecurity. In doing so, Berents argues for and engages a more complex understanding of the everyday, stemming from the embodied experiences of those centrally present in conflicts. Taking young people’s lives and narratives seriously recognises the difficulties of protracted conflict, but finds potential to build a notion of an embodied everyday amidst violence, where a complex and fraught peace can be found. Young People and Everyday Peace will be of interest to scholars of Latin American Studies, International Relations and Peace and Conflict Studies.

Attentive to intersecting issues of colonialism, political marginalization, and ethnic diversity, this book examines the crucial role that local actors play in working towards sustainable peace in Mindanao, Philippines. Interviewees include both those involved in the formal peace process between the Bangsamoro people and the government of the Philippines, as well as those who have worked more broadly in building a local culture of peace through activities such as education, dialogues, awareness-building, or social reconciliation. This book provides provocative insights for multidimensional peacebuilding strategies in conflict-impacted communities, regions, and nations.

The book is a pragmatic study of peace-building which is different from peace keeping and peacemaking as the last two are "fallible" and offer the transient and short term solution to peace. And dealing with conflict under these approaches is also not logically and practically plausible. Why not? The later parts of the book so minutely and thoroughly delineate their "failures" and being "unsuccessful" in attaining the fruitful and enduring results. The reason being, they offer conventional and unethical courses of bringing negative peace and apply the violent and coercive ways of tackling with a conflict, which cannot bring lasting and enduring peace. On the contrary, conflict transformation is in line with strategies used to build lasting peace (positive peace). It stresses the need of engaging "soft institutions", say, love, respect, putting oneself in other's place, respecting humanity, understanding the viewpoint of others on the rival side, and, finally to convert the long time animosity into lasting peace and compatibility. So, it is unjust not to quote Dorothy Thompson who views conflict in the following words, "Peace is not the absence of conflict but the presence of creative alternatives for responding to conflict alternatives to passive or aggressive responses, alternatives to violence." Thus, the book elaborates the importance of conflict transformation that opens doors for lasting and enduring peace and shutting the doors to aggression and violence. It helps get rid of negative peace which means absence of war or use of coercion to keep the peace. Hence, all the aforesaid discourses give vent to a question, "what is the connection between civil society and conflict transformation?" Civil society activists and organizations come at middle level according to Lederach's Pyramid Approaches to Peace-building (Lederach 1997). They have connections with both: below level / grassroots level masses as well as the leaders at the top, viz-a-viz top political leaders both from government and opposition, along with the military leadership. As the aforementioned model is applicable to intra-state level, it is only plausible if there is another pyramid model of peace drawn in the context of the rival country to transform the conflict for good. Though Saeed Ahmed Rid has delineated in his research work as horizontal and vertical integration in inter-state conflict yet, mine is different as, unlike Saeed Ahmed, I believe the role of civil society is more important and effective than just those of common people . According to Saeed, people from both countries, contact with their counterparts, in the other country, at the same level; those at the top with their counterparts; those at middle with those at the middle level. In the like manner, people at the grass-roots level have connections with their counterparts in the other country. Hence, as mentioned earlier, my findings are different. It's the middle level civil society activists and civil society organizations (CSOs) that have the capacity to undertake this hazardous and uphill task in the two rival countries, the reason being their capacity to bear the brunt of top-level 'hawks' on both sides. They connect their counter-parts in the rival country and hold conferences and meetings. One of the salient instances is that of civil society organizations (CSO), media groups viz-a-viz, Jang Media Group, Pakistan and Times of India (TOI), from India. Both the CSOs incepted peace building process between Pakistan and India under the banner of Aman Ki Asha (hope for peace).
