Teaching Peace Top-down, Bottom-up, or Both? Navigating Basic Dilemmas in Cross-Cultural Conflict Resolution Education
Despite decades of calls by the international community for the need to pivot the primary approach to cross-cultural conflict resolution education away from privileging Western, prescriptive models and methods of outside educators toward those based on the knowledge and expertise of local stakeholders, the dominant top-down paradigm persists. This article presents a new framework for cross-cultural conflict resolution education that builds on Joh…

The Origins and Evolution of Infrastructures for Peace
I first began to formulate the concept of an infrastructure for peace in the 1980s. During several local and national peace processes, particularly a mediation effort in Nicaragua, the support mech
The Moral Imagination
It is an honor to speak with you this morning. I am humbled by the invitation. The title of this conference rings particularly appropriate for our times: 'Valuing Peace in the 21st Century: Expanding the Art and Practice of Conflict Resolution.' If we are honest we must admit it clearly sets our feet onto the pathways of a complex journey through a most difficult terrain. These are not easy times we live in. They do not value peace, nor do they v…
People Building Peace II
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 sustain…
The Moral Imagination
This book poses the question, “How do we transcend the cycles of violence that bewitch our human community while still living in them?” Peacebuilding, in the view of this book, is both a learned skill and an art. Finding this art, this book says, requires a worldview shift. Conflict professionals must envision their work as a creative act — an exercise of what the book terms the “moral imagination.” This imagination must, however, emerge from and…
The Challenge of Terror
So here I am, a week late arriving home, stuck between Colombia, Guatemala and Harrisonburg when our world changed. The images flash even in my sleep. The heart of America ripped. Though natural, the cry for revenge and the call for the unleashing of the first war of this century, prolonged or not, seems more connected to social and psychological processes of finding a way to release deep emotional anguish, a sense of powerlessness, and our colle…
Journey from Resolution to Transformative Peacebuilding
“So, Where Will You Go when the revolution comes?” The question was posed by a middle-aged Angolan activist and university student to a much younger student, the son of a future president of Portugal. It was the kind of dinner-table conversation I heard often in 1976 at the David Living-stone residence located in Brussels, Belgium. In my early twenties, I was doing several years of voluntary service with the Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) in a…
From the ground up
"Combining a rich selection of case materials spanning nine countries, this book enlarges the literature in several important ways. It draws a legitimate connection between spirituality and pragmatic international peacebuilding. It contributes to the growing but still limited case literature on religiously motivated peacebuilding, and, in so doing, examines the theological, moral, and cultural underpinnings of Mennonite peacebuilding practice. Fi…
Building peace
Building Peace is John Paul Lederach's definitive statement on peacebuilding. Lederach explains why we need to move beyond "traditional" diplomacy, which often emphasizes top-level leaders and short-term objectives, toward a holistic approach that stresses the multiplicity of peacemakers, long-term perspectives, and the need to create an infrastructure that empowers resources within a society and maximizes contributions from outside.

Mediating Conflict in Central America
The Esquipulas peace process in Central America is examined as process, structure and context. It is found to be an innovative effort in regional conflict resolution. The study focuses on how mediation has been used in conflict management within Nicaragua. Trust- or confianza-based mediation has assumed special importance in the Nicaraguan case. The emphasis on the confianza relationship in Central American societies produces a type of mediator k…
