In a world split by conflict and mistrust, how can adversaries find their way to dialogue and reconciliation? Enter Confidence Building Measures (CBMs) - a powerful and adaptable toolkit for transforming conflicts and fostering cooperation in even the most intractable disputes.
In this groundbreaking book, David Hoicka - a Principal Mediator in neutral Singapore with many years of experience at the frontlines of conflict resolution - offers a comprehensive and practical guide to the art and science of building trust through CBMs. Drawing on a rich tapestry of historical cases and contemporary examples, from international diplomacy to community peacemaking, Hoicka demonstrates how these concrete, collaborative experiences - from joint economic projects and cultural exchanges to ceasefire monitoring and military hotlines - can open new spaces for empathy and problem-solving in adversarial contexts.
But this book is more than just a catalog of techniques - it is a profound meditation on the challenges and possibilities of making peace in a polarized age. With a clear-eyed realism about the obstacles to change, but an unwavering commitment to the promise of human understanding, Hoicka charts a path for integrating CBMs into mediators' repertoires and conflict management systems. He explores the psychological, cultural and political dimensions of trust-building, the strategies for engaging skeptical stakeholders and spoilers, and the innovations on the horizon - from virtual reality reconciliation to blockchain-enabled transparency.
Whether you are a diplomat or a grassroots activist, a business leader or a policy wonk, this book will equip you with the insights and inspiration to become a peacebuilder in your own sphere. Confidence Building Measures is destined to become an indispensable resource for anyone seeking to mend our frayed social fabric and build bridges in a divided world.
This book is priced at an affordable price point to enable widest availability.
If this collection of inspiring stories and pointers about Confidence Building Measures in Mediation, saves even one life or brings happiness to a single person, it will fill me also with hope and happiness, knowing I've made a difference as the author.
