Conflict and Compassion

Conflict is avoidable. However, this is often recognized only in retrospect and sometimes because of the high cost of conflict. Many situations of conflict in Asia - past and present - seem to consist of opposed groups for whom conflict has become an unavoidable obsession. This book is part of the Asia Triennial Manchester 2014 symposium, which was held at the Imperial War Museum North on 20 November 2014.
