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.
A title in The Little Books of Justice and Peacebuilding Series..
One aim of this Book is to promote the concept of justPeace as an overall goal or Vision for peacebuilding.
While the concept of justPeace is growing in popularity, few writings lay out the Vision and practice of justpeace.
Strategic peacebuilding requires clear goals.
At the core of this Framework is the idea of Strategic peacebuilding, an interdisciplinary, coordinated approach to building a sustainable justPeace --a Peace with justice.
This Little Book is an attempt to bring together the various fields and activities related to peacebuilding to integrate them into one conceptual framework.
From Schirch\'s 15 years of experience as a peacebuilding consultant in Africa, Asia, and Latin America.
