Synopsis
Can violence and conflicts be prevented? Should citizens look on, or be simply bystanders? Or are there ways and means where civil society can play an active role in the prevention of inter-communal violence? The new book edited by Kumar Rupesinghe provides answers to these questions. Societies have been gripped by inter -communal violence since time immemorial. The various early warning systems developed so far to address them, have been ineffective in terms of saving people's lives. The FCE's citizen-based early warning system has intervened in more than 170 potential and actual inter and intra-communal violent situations in the Eastern Province of Sri Lanka and saved a significant number of lives. This is a book that would go a long way in changing the existing discourse on conflict early warning.
