Mobilizing for Peace - Conflict Resolution in Northern Ireland, Israel;palestine, South

Zusatztext We highly recommend the Gidron, Katz and Hasenfeld book. This is a systematic, theory-based study of third sector organizations, which have very rarely been studied before. This study contributed significantly to the understanding of their structure and dynamics. Klappentext Mobilizing for Peace brings together the work of international experts to provide an in-depth study of thirty-three peace/conflict organizations in Northern Ireland! South Africa! and Israel/Palestine. The contributors show how the sociopolitical and cultural context of the conflict in each region has shaped the type of resolution organizations that have emerged and their conception of the conflict and its resolution. By promoting more humane images of the contestants and by offering alternative peaceful approaches to resolve the conflict! the organizations have successfully galvanized previously weak or non-existent pro-peace political forces to become important players in the political struggle for peace. Zusammenfassung An examination of the place and role of voluntary organisations dedicated to the promotion of peace and the resolution of intractable social conflicts, this work focuses on the work of nongovernmental organisations in Northen Ireland, South Africa, and Israel/Palestine.
