Moral Imagination - Lederach, John Paul (Professor of International Peacebuilding, Joan B. Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies, Professor of International Peacebuilding, Joan B. Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies, University of Notre Dame)

John Paul Lederach explores the evolution of his understanding of peacebuilding by reflecting on his own experiences in the field. Peacebuilding, in his view, is both a learned skill and an art. Finding this art, he says, requires a shift in worldview. Conflict professionals must envision their work as a creative act - an exercise of what Lederach calls the "moral imagination."
