At a time when the world desperately seeks alternatives to violence, Thomas Weber's Conflict Resolution and Gandhian Ethics presents a rigorous and profoundly humane framework for understanding how disputes between individuals, communities, and nations might be resolved without recourse to coercion or force. Drawing directly from the philosophical and practical legacy of Mahatma Gandhi, Weber argues that the principles of *ahimsa* (non-violence) and *satyagraha* (truth-force) are not merely historical curiosities but living methodologies applicable to modern conflicts. The work details the ethical architecture underpinning Gandhi's approach — from the emphasis on self-suffering and moral persuasion to the transformative power of dialogue — situating these ideas within the broader academic discourse of conflict resolution theory. Weber's scholarship is precise yet accessible, bridging the gap between Gandhian philosophy and contemporary political science with intellectual dexterity. Published by the Gandhi Peace Foundation in New Delhi, the text carries an institutional authority that grounds its arguments in the very soil from which Gandhi's thought emerged. By illustrating how ethical conduct and strategic non-violence intersect, the work challenges readers to reconsider whether justice and peace are truly incompatible with power — a question whose answer may be more urgent now than ever.
