Reviews
'Prof. Kivimaki's book is a fascinating analysis of the sources of and remedies to the conflict in Indonesia's West Kalimantan. It is interesting not only for Indonesia-specialists, but also to peace researchers and peace activists. As a crucial peace practitioner in West Kalimantan, and a theorist, Prof. Kivimaki reveals the role of peace researchers as part of a team in a collaborative venture: officials and peace researchers can work together for peace. What both his practice and his analysis has pointed out is that peace research really does have an important role to play in the settlement of conflicts.'H. Djohermansyah Djohan, Director General of Regional Autonomy, Ministry of Internal Affairs The Republic of Indonesia
