Negotiation Alchemy: Global Skills Inspiring and Transforming Diverging Worlds

Both interesting and highly informative, Nancy Erbe's Negotiation Alchemy provides visionary practitioners with the necessary skills to help overcome the challenges that unresolved conflicts pose throughout the world. The book focuses on ways of creating and sustaining "positive peace," which is more complex and dynamic than "negative peace." Erbe's focus on informal community diplomacy successfully demonstrates ways to fill "critical gaps in international capacity" in peace building. Erbe's book provides an important venue in understanding, as well as contributing to the "quiet revolution" taking place beyond domestic and international legal systems."- Professor Ahmet Sozen, Eastern Mediterranean University;

"I have known Dr. Nancy Erbe for more than fifteen years. Her teaching skills as seen here are exemplary, having necessary elements of ethics, empathy, honesty, reality, compassion and fairness. These fundamentals are so necessary for effective and lasting conflict resolution. Dr. Erbe is a professor who lives her talk and teaching in the classroom and real world alike. This book is a living example of this great excellence."- Swaranjit Singh, Retired Army Colonel
