By Jan Oberg TFF 1999, 30 pages ISSN 1103-7482 ISRN TFF-R-21-SE Identical with a chapter in Alice Ackermann's anthology on "Reconciliation in Global Perspective: Theory and Practise." It contains the basic idea of reconciliation institutes that TFF wrote on commission from the Swedish Ministy of Foreign Affairs supplemented with ideas and perspectves obtained during numerous presentations in academic and NGO forums. Shallow peace-making is peace-making as if people did not matter, says the author. The West may have some things to teach others about conflict-resolution, but what is the West willing to learn from non-Western thinking and practices in this field? Then the idea of reconciliation and forgiveness centres - or "sites" or "nodes" - is presented. The publication contains a list of books, journals and papers and websites which focus on reconciliation and forgiveness. Extremely useful for students and media people.
