| Summary: |
This article is a summary of the author’s Many Peaces trilogy, which comprises, in its original version, more than 1,200 pages. Volumes one and two were published by Palgrave Macmillan in London 2012 and 2013, with the third volume still to be issued.
It presents a broad range of peace interpretations in history and culture, which are divided into the so called five peace families – the energetic, moral, modern, post-modern and the transrational perceptions and understandings of peace(s). It further elaborates the transrational peace philosophy, and derives from John Paul Lederach’s famous pyramid of
conflict (work) a broader systemic understanding of conflict as a relational phenomenon. It offers a tool for analysis of the complex processes that happen at human “contact boundaries at work” – the enlarged pyramid-model of themes, levels and layers.
Finally, it introduces resonance, correspondence and homeostasis as principles of elicitive conflict mapping, the methodological toolkit for applied conflict work. |
