This path-breaking book is a bold invitation to peace-builders to consider new approaches positive approaches to transforming conflict and building peace in some of the most complex of human situations. It is a call to shift from focusing predominantly on the conflict, struggle, and suffering to also shining light on cooperation, coexistence, and visions for a better future. Chapters by some of the leading practitioner/scholars, as well as some fresh new faces in the field are full of ideas for making this shift. The hope of the contributors is that these ideas will be useful and will capture the imagination of readers who will apply them, adapt them further, and go far beyond them in innovating with positive approaches to peace building.
