Truly cutting-edge
Lederach's work stands at the forefront of the emergent field of conflict transformation study. A professor at Eastern Mennonnite University, he also has extensive field experience. In "Building Peace", he focuses upon the necessity of constructing relationships across multiple social levels, de-emphasizing the role of political elites, and instead focusing both upon mid-level elites (bureaucrats, intellectuals, "influential" persons) and grassroots-level activism.He also stresses the need to develop long-range objectives, to delink expectations of short-term results from questions of involvement, and the need for implementation of training programmes to create what might be termed a "culture of peace" within the society: trained mediators indigenous to the society.In doing this, the hope is that the "parachute" problem of credibility (the idea that mediators are dropped from the above---IGO/foreign gouvernment, etc---and have no particular attachment to the conflict) may be reduced, and transformation of the conflict may be initiated.Read more

An excelent work on law sociology.
The autor have done a very clear presentation of the construction of fields (a Pierre Bourdieu�s concept) in law legitimation and social creation of power. Tis book isn�t only an important work on internationalarbitration but a fundamental reading to all that would like to understandlaw and society. The history of international arbitration field on ICC andother institutions, illustrated by several examples, is, perhaps, the bestway to undersatnd how and why the international ADR have developed andworks. ...

No Longer Without A Face
Filled with statistics and factual data, The Face Of Human Rights is a pictorial perspective on human rights standards defined by international law and how its applied. It documents human rights violations worldwide, each illustration an uncompromising reality of powermongering getting out of hand. To prove once and for all no place on earth exists without unequity among sex, race, that also conflicts with personal identity under any circumstance, each country tells its own story. The book is 700+ pages in length, perfectly capturing the gruesome conditions of refugee camps(azerbaijan, colombia, palestine, ivory coast,afghanistan,etc.), prison confinement(death row, illegal executions, caged beds in psychiatric institutions, etc.), military occupations and life affected by war damage(kosovo, palestine,rwanda, etc.), scrutinizes relgious and social laws (iran, india, saudi arabia,), political freedom(iraq, korea, usa, kuwait,etc), womyns rights(family, identity, reproductive rights, enfranchisement,etc), child protection and services like healthcare and access to education(italy, czech republic, mali, etc.)- these are only a few areas out of the many that are brought to the attention of the reader. You have to prepare yourself for the terror unleashed within these pages: the painful expressions some carry do not adequately describe the brutalities(in the sense that even though you see it, you can't fathom it), and puts "security" and our own privacy into question. The vivide photography of the book also demonstrates what individual people can do/have done to counteract these abuses. Very informative and mind boggling- children who look no older than 8 but have the aging lines of a 40 year old manipulated into armed combat or committing war crimes and then getting imprisoned. Women still being treated as property and not recognized as citizens, or much less human beings because of their husband's identity or socio-economic status. Please get this book!!
