About the Berghof Handbook Dialogue Series: The Dialogue Series is an offshoot of the Berghof Handbook for Conflict Transformation. Each topic in the series is chosen because it is particularly relevant to societies in conflict and the practice of conflict transformation, and because it raises important issues at the present time. In each Dialogue, practitioners and scholars critically engage and debate in light of their experience. Typically, a Dialogue includes one lead article from key experts, and several commentaries from practitioners and others. Rather than presenting a single analysis, these practitioner-scholar encounters stimulate debate, integrating different perspectives, challenging prevailing views and comparing research findings with experiences and insights on the ground. Importantly, Dialogues, as works of broad relevance, are distributed in print version as well as online. We invite readers to respond to the papers (as to all articles). Interesting and original contributions can be added to the web version of the Dialogue. Up to now, the editors have initiated eight Dialogues: No. 1 - Peace and Conflict Impact Assessment (PCIA), 2003 No. 2 - Security Sector Reform, 2004 No. 3 - Transforming War Economies, 2005 No. 4 - New Trends in PCIA, 2005 No. 5 - Social Change and Conflict Transformation, 2006 No. 6 - A Systemic Approach to Conflict Transformation, 2008 No. 7 - Peacebuilding at a Crossroads? 2009 No. 8 - Building Peace in the Absence of States, 2009 Dialogue 9 Acknowledgements: Cover & Graphics Design: Coxorange (www.coxorange-grafik.de) Proofreading and Editorial Support: Amy Hunter Layout: Astrid Fischer and Amy Hunter Graphics on pages 19, 26, 86, 98: Sebastian Marambio The Berghof Handbook Dialogue Series is published by Berghof Conflict Research (BCR), formerly Berghof Research Center for Constructive Conflict Management Berghof Handbook for Conflict Transformation Dialogue Series Issue No. 9 © 2010 Berghof Conflict Research/ Berghof Forschungs- zentrum für konstruktive Konfliktbearbeitung ISSN 1616-2544 ISBN 978-3-941514-00-3 Order at: Berghof Conflict Research (BCR) Altensteinstraße 48a 14195 Berlin, Germany Via Internet: www.berghof-handbook.net www.berghof-conflictresearch.org order@berghof-conflictresearch.org
