Acknowledgements
This book absolutely would not have been possible without the support and encouragement I received from my colleagues, mentors, friends, and family. First and foremost, I am grateful for the excellent feedback and guidance I received from Karen Brounéus, Heather Devere, and Elizabeth Stanley. I must express thanks to the National Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies at University of Otago, New Zealand, whose support made the field research for this project possible. At the Centre, I was incredibly lucky to be exposed to a number of inspiring scholars and peace activists who have also helped to shape my work—among them are Kevin Clements, Isak Svensson, and Charles Butcher. I am also grateful to the Yearly Meeting of the Aotearoa-New Zealand Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) who provided me with a field research scholarship that enabled me to undertake my project. I would also like to thank the East Asian Peace program at the Department of Peace and Conflict Research at Uppsala University for their support during the final stages of preparing this manuscript. I also want to thank several of my early mentors that inspired and/or pushed me to pursue this area of research—Steve Poe, Idean Salehya
