Springer - Peace Psychology in Asia Book Series

Peace Psychology in Asia offers a deep look into how peacebuilding works across diverse nations and regions. While peace psychology has moved from a utopian concept to a tool for social transformation, many current methods are based on Western models. This book explores how interventions must reflect local cultures and realities to be effective. This volume highlights concepts and methods that differ from those common in the US and Europe. By looking at specific examples from China, India, Indonesia, and the Philippines, the authors explain the social, political, and religious conditions that shape peacebuilding efforts in the region. It is an essential resource for those studying how local contexts influence psychological approaches to peace and social change.
