Description
This book explores the value of local practical knowledge for peacebuilding in Northern Ireland, using empirical qualitative research to investigate 40 practitioners active in conflict transformation over 50 years.
The study sheds light on the importance of 'practical wisdom' - an Aristotelian concept that has been neglected until now. The author argues that this type of knowledge is essential for building sustainable peace and calls for its global rediscovery.
Of interest to practitioners, students, and scholars in fields such as peacebuilding, conflict resolution, philosophy, and British and Irish politics, this book provides a unique perspective on the role of local knowledge in shaping peace processes.
