The 7th Research Meeting of the "Theory and Practice of Conflict Resolution" Study Group, chaired by Visiting Senior Research Fellow Hideaki Shinoda, was held at the University of Colombo in the capital city of Colombo, Sri Lanka, on Tuesday, September 16. On that day, the contributors to the forthcoming volume exchanged comments on each other’s manuscripts, which had been submitted in advance. With the exception of a few contributors, this meeting served as the final review session, allowing preparations for the publication of the volume to be completed.
