Professor Kelman's thinking! research! practice! and writing have provided a basic scaffolding for the work of peacemakers and peace-builders for half a century! and finally his work is presented to us in one thoughtful and coherent volume. His work on peace has been masterful! and this volume helps to shine his light'. -- Peter T. Coleman! Columbia University! USA'This comprehensive yet accessible volume captures the themes and essence of Kelman's legacy for understanding and addressing intergroup conflict and cultivating peace. It brings us full circle by locating Kelman's intellectual contributions in the context of his life experiences and work for change! and it reveals the intellectual debt we owe to his conceptions and frameworks for grounding our current peace practices'. -- Tamra Pearson d'Estree! University of Denver! USA'The volume contains a variety of Herbert Kelman's seminal articles that trace the development of informal! problem solving approaches to intractable conflicts.
