Book Overview
Since the early 1980s John Paul Lederach has traveled worldwide as a mediation trainer and conflict resolution consultant. Currently the director of the International Conciliation Committee, he has worked with governments, justice departments, youth programs, and other groups in Latin America, the Philippines, Cambodia, as well as Asia and Africa. Lederach blends a special training method in mediation with a tradition derived from his work in development. Throughout the book, he uses anecdote and pertinent experiences to demonstrate his resolution techniques. With an emphasis on the exchange involved in negotiation, Lederach conveys the key to successful conflict resolution: understanding how to guide disputants, transform their conflicts, and launch a process that empowers them.

Heard John Paul Lederach interviewed on a podcast and was so impressed I wanted to read one of his books. Perhaps this was not the best choice. While I was able to gain many insights, as the back cover review states, “Recommended for upper-division undergraduate and graduate courses, faculty, and mediation practitioners.”
