Abstract

Even in the midst of the most horrific violent conflicts, there are always people building peace. What motivates such individuals to act for peace when many others do not, and how do they understand their own motivations? What do they feel sustains and supports them against the risks they face? How do they think the international community can better support them and others like them to make the courageous choice for peace?
