Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today's Western conceptual toolkit is very sophisticated, but it cannot perform tasks that its designers deliberately excluded from its cognisance. Mediators in Ireland, the Middle East, the Indian subcontinent or Nigeria routinely assume that conflicts must be solved within a Westphalian framework, through representative democracy and economic interdependence. The policies based on these assumptions are ineffective, often counterproductive.
