A Mediator's Eye View: Essays on War, Peace and Shared Humanity

By Sally Campbell

With this book of essays, Sally Campbell widens her mediator focus from the interpersonal realm to the investigation of global conflict, with particular emphasis on the role of Canada and other nations of the West. Sally positions her writing in a comprehensive historical context. In doing so, she provides a broad and accessible framework for understanding the political complexities of our time.

Her wide-ranging writing examines the meaning of security in the context of Israel-Palestine, explores the evolution and importance of international law, and questions the value of NATO's expansion to a worldwide arms-trading co-operative. Sally also shares learnings from her many teachers, and dives into the nuance of anger, apology and forgiveness. With practical suggestions for moving forward, her writing is grounded in lived experience and the realities of our global interdependence. She makes an urgent, always ethical case for decolonization, demilitarization and recognition of our shared humanity.

This absorbing and lively collection of essays challenges readers to evaluate their individual contributions to a world of equality, justice and freedom from violence. Most importantly, Sally offers concrete, practical ways to participate in realizing that elusive goal.
