Peacemaking in the news

Here's a link to an article about John Paul Lederach, a Mennonite peacemaking advocate and Notre Dame professor who has worked around the world in conflict situations. He spent some time in Nicaragua back in the 80s, negotiating between the Sandinista government and indigenous groups on Nicaragua's Caribbean coast. He has written in both English and Spanish, and I use lots of his materials in my classes.
