Vanspauwen, Kris and Arsovska, Jana and Valinas, Marta (2008). From micro to macro, from individual to state: restorative justice and multi-level diplomacy in divided societies In Ivo Aertsen, Jana Arsovska, Holger-C. Rohne, Marta Valinas, and Kris Vanspauwen ed., Restoring Justice after Large-scale Violent Conflicts. Devon, UK: Willan Publishing. Pp. 444-460.

"In this concluding chapter we will not present again a comprehensive overview of overarching themes and quesitons, but we will simply raise several points that we believe deserve attention in order to enhance better policy-making. How can individuals, communities and states further contribute to the effective prevention and resolution of violent large-scale conflicts? What is the role of the international community in this context? What do restorative justice principles have to add to these prevention/resolution efforts? How can we, as researchers and academics, help victims raise their voice in a constructive way and, hence, hinder further escalation of wars and conflicts worldwide?" (abstract)
