Wheeler talks about Deepak Malhotra's science fiction novel, The Peacemaker's Code. Deepak deliberately made it hard for his character Kilmer, painting him into corners where he would have to think his way out. Of course, that meant that Deepak himself would have to do the same.

Lees talks about Francis Walder's novel Saint-Germain, ou la Négociation. The novel was a source of instant and lasting fascination. Walder was a Belgian who trained at the military academy in Brussels and spent several years as a prisoner during World War II. After the war, he represented the army in international negotiations, and this experience prompted him to write what he called \"a portrait of the negotiator.\" This short novel--his first--won the Prix Goncourt, France' highest literary accolade, in 1958. Saint-Germain, ou la Négociation is a work of historical fiction based on the negotiation in 1570 of the relatively obscure treaty of Saint-Germain during the French Wars of Religion.

Leo Tolstoy was on to behavioral ethics before there was such as a thing as behavioral ethics. Three scenes from his magnum opus, War and Peace, demonstrate that Tolstoy diagnosed some of the same problems that occupy modern behavioral ethics: confirmation bias, slippery-slope reasoning, and illusions of control. However, whereas modern behavioral ethics has done more to diagnose problems than to prescribe solutions, Tolstoy’s theories of moral psychology and leadership provide direction for human moral self-cultivation. This analysis of War and Peace also suggests that literary fiction can depict worlds at least as fertile as the real world for studying business ethics. Building upon this example, in an age and field which seems too often to prioritize scientific wisdom over that of the humanities, I speculate about how literary fiction can expand our research into more diverse actors and worlds of modern capitalism.

This is a review of Duncan Bell's ‘Dreamworld of Race’ that provides a friendly critique of the absence of alternate anti-racist visions, whilst praising the book's nuanced appraisal of ‘Anglotopia’.

Twenty years post-independence Ukraine remains split, still floundering toward viable democracy. Active participation in civic affairs required for democracy is unfamiliar for most Ukrainian citizens, having internalized centuries of divisive oppression under a series of authoritarian regimes. Democracy-building and peace-building require participant agency and voice; rising out of oppression, people often need support to speak about and transform their lived experiences. Peacebuilding with Women in Ukraine: Using Narrative to Envision a Common Future, by Maureen P. Flaherty, explores the roles women’s shared narrative, dialogue, and group-visioning play in the support of personal empowerment and bridge building between diverse communities. Despite participants’ initial beliefs that their regional counterparts shared little in common with them, in the process of telling their personal life stories women were able to reflect upon their own values and strengths, and with this rooting, they were then able to reach out to others. Rather than looking for differences, participants sought ways to express a shared vision for an inclusive, functional, peace-building future for themselves, their families, and Ukraine as a whole. Peacebuilding with Women in Ukraine is a model for emancipatory social action and social change, while the women’s stories offer a window into the formative years and present-day lives of eighteen women born and raised in the Soviet Union. This study is a unique contribution to peace studies and to the history and building of a country that has most often had its history written for it.
