The books in this new series suggest that we live in an exciting age of explorations. We now have the great opportunity to chart the territories between disciplines and cultures, to map forgotten or as yet undiscovered areas of thought, culture and writing. The monographs and collections from Leipzig try to break out of unproductive oppositions say between East and West, North and South, humanities and sciences, or academic discourse and journalism. Instead we are encouraging the emergence of triangular constellations, such as between Newfoundland, Scotland and West Africa, or between travelogue, science and women's writing, or between alchemy, prehistory and bicycles. Pioneer studies on contemporary authors will be another asset of this series. The focus of Leipzig Explorations is on literatures in English, albeit with a strong emphasis on comparative and interdisciplinary studies. We particularly encourage essayistic writing that combines academic knowledge with passion and curiosity.

Herbert C. Kelman is one of the leading names in the Psychology of Peace, both for his contributions as theorist and his active involvement in promoting peace. This article analyses the fundamental ideas developed by Kelman throughout his career, focusing particularly on his efforts to build an inclusive and long-lasting peace for the Middle East. In the 70s Kelman promoted the development of Interactive workshops of Conflict Resolution, which contributed in an unequivocal way to the agreements reached in Oslo between Palestine and Israel in 1993.
