Description
Nonviolent Coexistence presents a comprehensive framework for transforming communities torn apart by conflict and violence. Through careful analysis and real-world case studies, authors Kumar Rupesinghe and Gayathri Fernando demonstrate how communities can move beyond the cycle of fear and suspicion that perpetuates weapons proliferation and warfare.
The book addresses the fundamental barriers to peace, including deep-rooted mistrust, militaristic mindsets, and institutional violence. Rather than offering simplistic solutions, the authors provide evidence-based strategies grounded in nonviolent principles and conflict transformation theory. They examine how communities can deconstruct weapons cultures, rebuild social trust, and establish genuine coexistence across historical divides.
Published by the Foundation for Co-Existence, this work serves as both an academic resource and a practical guide for peace workers, community leaders, and policymakers seeking to create lasting change in post-conflict environments.
