Description:	Mediation, the facilitated discussion of disputes and conflicts, is a flexible approach that can be used to help us achieve global peace. This volume, Moving Toward a Just Peace: The Mediation Continuum,1 brings together mediators, scholar-practitioners, and a veteran diplomat to discuss the life and times of mediation in very different settings. The continuum of mediation is about the expanding roles (from prevention through societal transformation) assumed by mediators. It also is about the urgent need for mediators working at different intervention levels (for instance, those mediating in the local community and those representing governments that are addressing large and complicated problems of crisis management/peacebuilding) to learn from each other in joint training exercises, forums, practice arenas and publications. In this way, mediators, and others interested in effective outcomes, will learn more about the similarities and differences of their practices and new ways of collaboration. This introductory chapter begins with discussions of peace and justice; mediation; mediation as intervention; the mediation continuum; and conflict, mediation and peace. The chapter concludes with an introduction to the contents of the volume
