Gandhi's Way: A Handbook of Conflict Resolution

Gandhi's Way provides a primer of Mahatma Gandhi’s principles of moral action and conflict resolution. It offers a straightforward, step-by-step approach that can be used in any conflictat home or in business; in local, national, or international arenas. Juergensmeyer sets out Gandhi’s basic methods and illustrates them with practical examples to show how parties at odds can rise above a narrow view of self-interest to find resolutions that are satisfying and beneficial to all involved. The author pits Gandhi’s ideas against those of other great social thinkers in a series of imaginary debates that challenge and clarify Gandhi’s thinking on issues of violence, anger, and love. He also provides a Gandhian critique of Gandhi himself, and offers viable solutions to some of the gaps in Gandhian theory.
