Title: Peacebuilding in Practice
Review: It seems people are under a misconception that peacebuilding needs to be the work of those assumed to be pacifist, idealistic, and not very practical. The field is often stereotyped into a sort of touchy-feely soft social science with no "real world" applicability. Dr. Schirch's book looks beyond those mistaken assumptions towards real understanding and action. This book looks into the heart of what the causes of conflict are, what skills are necessary to improve communication and lessen direct violence, and more importantly, what needs (material, social and symbolic) must be met to break the cycle of violence. This book provides the reader with an understandable, and straightforward framework to begin to understand, address, and reduce conflict in our world.
