Dear Readers,
The first item in this issue is by Paul Clifford and gives an account of work in Palestine and Israel with civil society organisations. It is followed by something very different: an article by Andrew Rigby on the potential role of sport in addressing conflict. The third and final article represents quite a radical departure from our usual practice. For the first time we are printing an article by someone who is part of a community involved in violent conflict and is writing from that experience and perspective. He is Frankie Gallagher of the Ulster Political Research Group or UPRG, with whom two of our members have worked. We think that what he has written is eloquent and illuminating, reflecting a particular experience and point of view. We recognise that it will challenge the viewpoints of others, who may in turn want to challenge some of its contents. Perhaps it is time to open a letters page in the Review? We would be very interested in your responses.
See also at the end of this issue an invitation to engage in a conversation about CT practice and details of a forthcoming CCTS seminar, on June 5th.
