Abstract

This narrative is about my personal and professional journey in peacemaking. It is about the work of a task force engaged in persuading government officials that "economic conversion "can combine economic, social and human development. My experience in the democratic planning process ( sanctioned and at the same time undermined by public officials) in response to the shutdown of a naval base, taught me more than I have ever known about the context of politics and power Working to build a world beyond war and engaging in the local planning process of base closure framed my world view of a peaceful society.
