This book was edited and led by Prof. Dr. Zam Askandar of the Southeast Asia Conflict Studies Network (SEACSN), part of the Regional Steering Group members in Global Partnership for the Prevention of Armed Conflict – Southeast Asia (GPPAC-SEA).

This project, animated by Strengthening Human Rights and Peace Research and Education in ASEAN/Southeast Asia (SHAPE-SEA), SEACSN, and AUN-Human Rights Education (AUN-HRE), runs parallel to, builds on, and strengthens the current efforts in GPPAC-SEA in the past years to develop practitioners' training modules and capacity development program on conflict transformation in Southeast Asia. The content of this book not only draws from the academic work of scholars but lived experiences of practitioners, civil society, and community peacebuilders who are working 24/7 on building on existing local capacities for peace and on transforming the roots of conflicts across the region.
