Ein neues Handbuch der Plattform Zivile Konflikt Bearbeitung (PZKB) lädt dazu ein, die gängigen Methoden der Friedens- und Konfliktarbeit kritisch zu hinterfragen – und um dekoloniale Perspektiven zu erweitern. Es verbindet theoretische Reflexion mit praktisch anwendbaren Ansätzen und richtet sich besonders an Akteur*innen im sogenannten Globalen Norden.

Das Handbuch „Zwischen Kolonialität und Pluriversalität“ soll den bestehenden “Werkzeugkasten” der Friedensarbeit kritisch überprüfen und erweitern. Herausgegeben wird es von Cora Bieß, Juliana Krohn, Daniela Lehner, Christina Pauls, Rosemarie Schöffmann und Gisela Wohlfahrt. Informationen zum Handbuch sowie das Handbuch selbst können hier abgerufen werden.
