| PEACEKEEPING & STABILITY ISSUES [Keith D Gerbick (ed)] As the international political climate grows increasingly volatile, peacekeeping operations have become a mainstay in troubled regions. The alternative to military occupation is either to train indigenous police forces or to hire security corporations. Policy makers are worried that these forces are not capable of maintaining peace. In addition, moral and legal issues are factors for policy makers that are debating the extent to which peacekeeping forces should be allowed to infiltrate societies in turmoil. Other issues of concern that this book examines are the United States relationship with the U.N. and the World Bank as all three pursue their different responsibilities in peacekeeping. { 134pp, 180x260mm, August 2007; HB, £41.99, 1600211437:9781600211430 , Nova Science Publishers } |
| SEEKING PEACE IN AFRICA : Stories From African Peacemakers [Donald E Miller, Scott Holland, Lon Fendall & Dean Johnson (eds)] Seeking Peace is Africa" is a direct reply to the World Council of Churches' Decade to Overcome Violence. The WCC appealed to the Historic Peace Churches to share their responses to the enormous reach of terror and violation of human life in this generation. The stories in this volume are the hopeful responses of Africans who have lived through horrific violence. Some are unbearable tales of despair at the loss of millions of lives due to warfare, riots, terror, starvation, AIDS and disease. Others are remarkable descriptions of courageous peacemaking in the midst of nearly impossible circumstances. { 246pp, 155x230mm, March 2008; PB, £12.00, 2825415081:9782825415085 , World Council of Churches } |
| TAKING A STAND : A Guide to Peace Teams & Accompaniment Projects [Elizabeth F Boardman] Putting your body in the way of violence is a dramatic way of taking a stand.

Accessible and conversational, the book describes who runs the peace programmes, how to get information, the variety of people currently participating, and what to expect in terms of fear and exhilaration, resistance and support. { 159pp, 125x175mm, April 2005; PB, £8.99, 0865715262:9780865715264 , New Society Publishers } |
