(eds.), Cultures of Sustainable peace: Conflict Transformation, Gender-Based Violence, Decolonial Praxes (2024) - this book shifts the focus of peacebuilding away from nation-states and international organisations to make a powerful argument that sustainable peacebuilding is the work of ordinary people.
