The Little Book of Conflict Transformation

The Little Book of Conflict Transformation (Good Books, 1969) By John Paul Lederach. This clearly articulated statement offers a hopeful and workable approach to conflict by John Paul Lederach, now a scholar with the Joan Kroc Institute of Conflict Studies at the University of Notre Dame. Writing out of his years of work in Central America, in Somalia, in Bosnia, and in Ireland, Lederach explores why “conflict transformation” is an idea with a deep reach. Its practice, says Lederach, requires both solutions, and social change. It asks not simply "how do we end something not desired?", but "how do we end something destructive and build something desired?"
