As a deeply reflective practitioner, John Paul's scholarship is predicated on experience-shaped learning from which he has inductively developed theoretical perspectives. These theories have significantly influenced the field of peacebuilding and conflict transformation. Elaborated in numerous books, book chapters, and articles, many of these theories were originally captured visually in doodles and later took the form of diagrams and charts. A selection of these are displayed in this section. (Please note that permission to reprint these figures in to-be-published materials must be sought from the publishers of the books in which they feature.)
