There is a mainstream narrative:
Problem: There are dangerous and unruly classes and countries
If let loose life becomes brutish, nasty and short for all
Remedy: Economic-military-political-cultural rule from above
If vertical enough we get pax by rule of force, balance and law
This book challenges that and argues an alternative narrative:
Problem: There are traumas and conflicts to be mediated
There are cooperative equity and harmony projects to be built
Remedy: Mediate traumas and conflicts and we get negative peace
Build equitable projects with harmony and we get positive peace
