In two volumes it addresses more than 140 topics, which include: socio-economic issues, cultural and political development, conflict management, sustainable development, spirituality, history, gender, philosophy and the humanities. Gathering ideas from over 140 contributors from around Africa and the world, it offers a valuable resource for academic programme developers as well as peacebuilders and development professionals at institutions of higher learning, civil society organisations and state institutions, as well as the general public.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Helvetica',sans-serif;\"\u003eGeorge Mutalemwa\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Helvetica',sans-serif;\"\u003e is a Senior Research Fellow at St. Augustine University of Tanzania (Tanzania), Director of “Global Peace Studies for Sustainable Development in Africa”, former Hoeffmann Lecturer for Intercultural Competences at the University of Vechta (Germany) and Visiting Lecturer at the University of Innsbruck (Austria).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Helvetica',sans-serif;\"\u003eDr. Egon Spiegel\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Helvetica',sans-serif;\"\u003e, Emeritus Professor of Practical Theology at the University of Vechta (Germany), holds master’s degrees in theology and political science and a Th.D.
