The essays in the volume deal with the process of conflict resolution from different perspectives, essentially inquiring into whether a non-Western alterative paradigm for conflict resolution is possible and desirable and whether it could be integrated and absorbed successfully within the already established theoretical models of conflict. They look into Gandhian interventions for peace in the North-east of India. They examine the role of the civil society in the Palestine-Israel conflict in West Asia. They include a case study of the conflict resolution and democratisation process in Myanmar. They broadly view the role of the United Nations in conflict resolution and peacekeeping, demonstrating that it unites Western and non-Western perspectives of peace and progress. It focuses on the energy security issue, addressing tensions generated by the emerging of development and security related issues in the South through negotiations and conflict resolution process.
