Resolving Structural Conflicts

How Violent Systems Can Be Transformed

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book analyses structural or system-generated conflicts and poses the fundamental question: 'If there are systems generating this conflict, how can they be changed?' Showing how systems established to maintain a peaceful social order sometimes end by generating serious violence, the author discusses how to envision and implement new methods of transforming violence-prone systems.
