Track Two journal

Saturday, January 29, 2005
Track Two is the quarterly publication of the Centre for Conflict Resolution and the Media Peace Centre. Track Two promotes innovative and constructive approaches to community and political conflict as an alternative to traditional adversarial tactics.

The term 'track two' refers to informal, unofficial interaction outside the formal governmental power structure, providing the means for historically conflicting groups to improve communication and gain a better understanding of each other's point of view. In so doing, it reduces anger, fear or tension, and facilitates the resolution of substantive conflicts.

Not all issues of Track Two have been web-enabled. Only the most recent issues are accessible electronically:
