Working with Conflict 2 reflects the accumulated wisdom of over 3000 peacebuilding practitioners from 70 countries over the 20 years since the first Working with Conflict book was published. Its focus is on understanding and transforming conflict, building practical strategies for constructive change, analysing power, addressing violence, healing wounds and building movements for change. It is relevant to all who are trying to bring about change in intractable situations, from grassroots to policy level, including those working in the fields of peacebuilding, humanitarian assistance, development, climate change, human rights, gender equality, trauma healing and democracy. Working with Conflict 2 is an accessible practical resource, for both individuals and organisations working and researching how to work in conflict-prone and unstable parts of the world. Easy to use, including helpful visual materials, it provides a range of practical tools - processes, ideas, techniques - for tackling conflict, as well as providing links to other key conflict-related and peacebuilding resources, including organisations, publications and websites.

A go-to, practical resource for peacebuilders, people working in conflict situations or people studying conflict transformation within a variety of disciplines.

Reviews
This is a resource book that adds to the many other publications that help us to become better conflict intervenors (individuals, trainers, accompaniers, and practitioners) by providing content that makes us look at our own motivations, assumptions, behaviour and attitudes when working in the conflict transformation field. ... [I]t will be useful for workshops and personal thinking, and will have a place on my bookshelf. * Medicine, Conflict and Survival *
