Review
'Impressive and moving, and very saddening as well ... A particular pleasure to read something not only sensible but even hopeful on methods of moving towards some decent outcome under what appears to be almost hopeless situations.' --Noam Chomsky 'Fascinating! This highly condensed and powerful overview opens up major new ways to think about the seemingly intractable problems of state nation interface ... this book is a must for scholars, practitioners and policy makers and peace activists.' --Elise Boulding, Professor Emeritus, Dartmouth College 'Galtung's writing always provides succinct and important insights ... The book has appropriate and important targets: it seeks to uncover the general truth among the particular complications; it does not draw back from proposing courses of action; it confronts serious tasks.' --EthnicConflict Research Digest
