Case Studies of the Third Side in Action

A number of case studies have been developed to exhibit:

• how the Third Side gets mobilized and becomes active; and
• what the most significant barriers to the Third Side’s emergence are and why these have proven so difficult to overcome.

These case studies are excellent resources for teachers, study groups, or others interested in the Third Side in actual conflict situations.
