The book translation was part of the peace building project in higher education in Iraq which is implemented by the Iraqi Al-Amal Association in collaboration with the UNDP and Innsbruck University in Austria. The offer of translating the book came after an invitation from Al-Amal Association in 2019 to the translator, Noor Ghazi who worked with the team in Iraq to offer peace building workshops in Arabic to the youth in 2019. It is a great addition to the Peace Studies library in the Middle East as this book is considered to be the 9th translated book by academics in the area.
