In this volume, nine renowned experts delineate their theoretical or
methodological approach of Aikidô in potentiating constructive handling
of social conflicts. The authors depict the contribution of the Japanese
self-defensive art Aikidô to the theory and practice of conflict
transformation. The concept of Elicitive Conflict Transformation
(Lederach, Dietrich) necessarily calls for a revised understanding of
applied peace work and a new personal profile of the conflict worker.
This is the point where Aikidô and conflict/peace work meet.
