Fall 2010 Titles
Crescent and Dove
Peace and Conflict Resolution in Islam
Edited by Qamar-ul Huda
Preface by HRH Prince Ghazi bin Muhammad bin Talal
October 2010
Crescent and Dove looks at the relationship between contemporary Islam and peacemaking by tackling the diverse interpretations, concepts, and problems in the field of Islamic peacemaking. It addresses both theory and practice by delving into the intellectual heritage of Islam to discuss historical examples of addressing conflict in Islam and exploring the practical challenges of contemporary peacemaking in Arab countries, Turkey, Iran, Pakistan, and Indonesia.
Light Intervention
Lessons from Bougainville
By Anthony Regan
November 2010
Regan examines the ideal conditions for light international intervention and analyzes the remarkably successful Bougainville peace process, which ended in apparently intractable, violent, and deeply divisive separatist conflict that for much of the period from 1988 to 1997 destabilized both Papua New Guinea and the wider Pacific islands region.
The Go Between
Jan Eliasson and the Styles of Mediation
By Isak Svensson and Peter Wallensteen
Preface by Kofi Annan
December 2010
This volume explores international mediation through the lens of Ambassador Jan Eliasson, an international go-between with a remarkable track record. The authors draw lessons for the peacemaking process from their examination of how Eliasson entered, prepared, pursued, and finally ended his mediation efforts.
