The Little Book of Conflict Transformation By John Paul Lederach
“This clearly articulated statement offers a hopeful and workable approach to conflict—that eternally beleaguering human situation. John Paul Lederach is internationally recognized for his breakthrough thinking and action related to conflict on all levels—person-to-person, factions within communities, warring nations. He explores why “conflict transformation” is more appropriate than “conflict resolution” or “management.” But he refuses to be drawn into impractical idealism. 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?” How do we deal with the immediate crisis, as well as the long-term situation? What disciplines make such thinking and practices possible?” ISBN: 1561483907

The Little Book of Family Group Conferences By Allan MacRae & Howard Zehr
“Since their introduction in New Zealand in 1989, Family Group Conferences have been adopted and adapted in many places throughout the world. They have been used as decision-making processes in many arenas, including child welfare, school discipline, and criminal justice, both juvenile and adult. In fact, Family Group Conferences have emerged as one of the most promising models of restorative justice.” ISBN: 1561484032

The Little Book of Strategic Negotiation By Jayne Seminare Docherty
“Most books on negotiation assume that the negotiators are working in a stable setting— haggling over the price of a car, modifying a work contract, allocating air pollution permits. This Little Book is about those frequent times when negotiation must happen amidst volcanic social and organizational change. It is for those absolutely unsettling occasions when the mechanisms that support negotiation are unclear, fragile, or completely missing—deciding which parent will have custody of their child while a divorce is underway; bargaining between workers and management during the course of a merger and downsizing; or establishing a new government as a civil war winds down.” ISBN: 1561484288

The Little Book of Strategic Peacebuilding By Lisa Schirch
“We would all like a more peaceful world—no wars, no poverty, no more racism, no community disputes, no office tensions, no marital skirmishes. Lisa Schirch in her timely book sets forth paths to such realities. In fact, she points a way to more than the absence of conflict. She foresees just peace—a sustainable state of affairs because it is a peace which insists on justice. How to arrive there is the subject of this book. Peacebuilding recognizes the complexity and the effort this elusive ideal requires. Schirch singles out four critical actions for peace to take root at any level — 1.) waging conflict nonviolently; 2.) reducing direct violence; 3.) transforming relationships; and 4.) building capacity. Schirch’s clear and incisive strategy encourages enabling many approaches to peace, honestly assessing who holds power, and persuading and coercing, but always with keen judgment and precise timing. From Schirch’s 15 years of experience as a peacebuilding consultant in Africa, Asia, and Latin America.” ISBN: 156148427X
