In all my years as a public servant, I have always looked for guideposts to help me better understand a fractured world. This outstanding interdisciplinary volume provides an excellent roadmap to piece together the mosaic of peace, reconciliation, and social justice not just from a leader’s perspective, but from the voices and actions of followers. This book forms an essential praxis through the lens of gender, diversity, spirituality, inclusiveness to better deal with global restoration of a more beloved community.
In this ambitious interdisciplinary volume, the authors seek to understand the concept of peace and reconciliation through leadership and followership theories and practice from the current generation’s perspective in the midst of today’s turbulent and unsettling times. The immediate need for this global analysis of peace and reconciliation from a trans-disciplinary lens is crucial. The authors of this volume provide a solution through the concept of decolonization by first giving a voice to those most impacted by conflict and then by listening to those voices in order to bring about social justice.
At a time when the global order founded by liberal democracies is in retreat, beset by authoritarian rivals on one side and failing states on the other, academia might be ready for the tonic of a “peace and conflict studies” approach to the study of leadership – leading to an understanding of the moral, spiritual, and political roles of leaders in healing a divided society. This book lays the groundwork.
Social oppression, civil war, and state genocide are often a direct product of leadership failures, but recovery from them can be facilitated by other leaders and even followers who appreciate and exercise the powers of truth telling, community reconciliation, and national rebuilding. H. Eric Schockman, Vanessa Hernández, and Aldo Boitano have gathered a host of penetrating and informative accounts of just that in Peace, Reconciliation, and Social Justice in the 21st Century, which serves as both an inspiration and a roadmap for those whose wish to apply their own leadership to recovering and coming back from human calamities.
An excellent view of the study of leadership and a just world order, the book provides a trans-disciplinary approach to issues of equity, inclusion, and trust. The building of sustainable peace is basic to the text as each chapter examines the themes of reconciliation, community building, international law, and social justice. This book is important and I give it my highest recommendation.
Contributors to this book include academics and practitioners in international law, social justice, leadership studies, conflict studies, international studies, and international human rights; many are practitioners in social justice and reconciliation initiatives around the world. In their papers on reconciliation, community building, international law, and peacebuilding, they present issues and ideas for both leaders and followers, centering on the positive impact of public policies on national and international order. Case studies detail experiences in post-conflict societies including Rwanda, Uganda, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, and Chile. Many of the papers offer profiles of women peacemakers and deal with the importance of women’s activism, women’s economic empowerment, and reparation for survivors of conflict-related sexual violence.
