PEACE BY PIECE: Harnessing Peace, Conflict and Dialogue by Uduak-Abasi Akpabio

 

 

When we say ‘we are building peace’, what exactly do we mean? What factors should be in place for an entity to be considered peaceful? If it is true that within every conflict lies both opportunity and danger, why does the term conflict automatically solicit violence prevention or connote negativity? How do we harness the opportunities that lie within a conflict? Why do dialogues easily slip into talk-shops? What would it take to move dialogue beyond rhetoric to an effective tool that facilitates understanding and delivers gains for peace-building, conflict management and public participation?

Although the term “peace-building” has the word ‘peace’ at its core, it appears that most actions concerning peace-building are focused on preventing violence rather than strengthening peace. This has made it challenging to muster support for peace-building or conflict management actions early on in conflicts, especially where there is no direct threat of violence in view. How do we make peace a value and capacity to be invested in even in the absence of the threat of violent conflict? How do we facilitate peace work that goes beyond violence and stability to one that can deliver positive peace?

These are some of the questions being explored and answered in this book.
