ZONES OF PEACE
Book ID/图书代码： 07720007B15455
English Summary/英文概要： The notion of having sanctuary from violence or threat has probably
existed as long as conflict itself. Whether people seek safety in a
designated location, such as a church or hospital or over a regional
border, or whether their professions or life situations (doctors, children)
allow them, at least in theory, to avoid injury in war, sanctuary has
served as a powerful symbol of non-violence.
The authors of this collection examine sanctuary as it relates to historical
and modern conflicts from the Philippines to Colombia and Sudan.
They chart the formation and evolution of these varied “zones of
peace” and attempt to arrive at a “theory of sanctuary” that might allow
for new and useful peacebuilding strategies.
This book makes a significant contribution to the field of conflict r
esolution, using case studies to highlight efforts made by local people
to achieve safety and democracy amid and following violent civil wars.
The authors ground the emerging interest in sanctuary by providing a
much needed description of the complexity of these peace zones.
