The ethics of changemaking and peacebuilding may appear straightforward: advance dignity, promote well-being, minimize suffering. Yet, acting ethically when it really matters is rarely straightforward. Wicked Problems argues that the field of peacebuilding and conflict transformation needs a stronger and more practical sense of its ethical obligations. Drawing on the lived experiences and real expertise of activists, practitioners, educators, and researchers, this volume makes the case against posing false binaries between domestic and international issues and against viewing violence and conflict as equivalents. Moreover, it holds strategic nonviolence up to critical scrutiny and shows that "do no harm" approaches may in fact do harm. Wicked Problems explores how doing the work-around the world and in one's own community-often requires tough decisions: between peace and justice, revolution and reform, violence and nonviolence, and between means and ends.
