NGOs and Common GroundThis first essay on common ground is drawn from information on the web site of Search for Common Ground and on the related web site of the European Centre for Common Ground."Search for Common Ground is a non-profit, non-governmental organization based in Washington, DC, which works in partnership with the European Centre for Common Ground in Brussels. Together we work to transform conflict into cooperative action."
When we at CSUDH talk of transforming discourse, we are usually talking about interpersonal relationships. For most of us, caught up in the hectic metropolitan life with multiple identities that task is all consuming. But much of the peace literature focusses on conflicts between ethnic groups and between nation states. In this fourth course in the series, Love and Peace, I want to focus on the many levels of transformation, and the underlying premises we need to challenge for this purpose. To this end, review Rambo and the Dalai Lama, Gordon Fellman.
