This book offers an application of the transrational model of interpretation of peace onto the area of legal studies.

This is done by expanding the content and meaning of Wolfgang Dietrichs layers of Elicitive Conflict Mapping (ECM) through re-relating them to Ken Wilbers model of the structures of consciousness; with synchronicity as the literal connecting principle. The result, then, is an expanded notion of the transrational peace philosophy which includes Wilbers model of stages shorn of its evolutionary slant and fathoms...
