Following the first volume of its Handbook for Conflict Transformation in 2004, Berghof Conflict Research (Berlin) now presents this second volume. The book collects new insights into nonviolent ways of managing inter-group conflict and what is needed for consolidating positive peace. Topics include: global trends in organized violence * the role of gender relations and asymmetries in conflict * third-party intervention and insider approaches * human rights * transitional justice * reconciliation in post-war societies. The book will be essential for all those who are interested and active in the fields of conflict prevention and management, development cooperation, human rights, and post-war peacebuilding.
