Product Description

Gandhis Way provides a primer of Mahatma Gandhis principles of moral action and conflict resolution and offers a straightforward, step-by-step approach that can be used in any conflict-at home or in business; in local, national, or international arenas. This invaluable handbook, updated with a new preface and a new case study on terrorism in Northern Ireland, sets out Gandhis basic methods and illustrates them with practical examples. Juergensmeyer shows how parties at odds can rise above a narrow view of self-interest to find resolutions that are satisfying and beneficial to all involved. He then pits Gandhis ideas against those of other great social thinkers in a series of imaginary debates that challenge and clarify Gandhis 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.
