Focusing on the impact of second track interventions during the Balkan conflicts, this book draws on field research conducted in Serbia, Croatia, Eastern Slavonia, and Bosnia from 1992 to 1996. It explores local strategies for violence prevention and the development of peace-building capacities in a war-prone environment. The work examines the evolution of social movements into NGOs, the tension between therapeutic and direct action conflict resolution methods, and the challenges of facilitation versus empowerment in training and engagement efforts.
