This study grapples with the question: Do small things matter in big conflicts? The focus is micro- and meso-level action and interaction, using this lens to understand small groups that work to build peace in intractable conflict. The analysis illuminates forms of sociologically unique political power generated in and by these groups. The groups studied are all led by, and made up of, local actors at the national or subnational level. They are working in a wide range of settings, including Palestine and Israel, Iraq, Myanmar, Northern Ireland and Lebanon. While the activities undertaken by the groups are varied, the study shows how all engage in forms of profound transgression, working directly with counterparts who are viewed as "the enemy" in the hegemonic conflict narrative. The study finds that the work of these groups is consequential. These groups are generating a specific and unique form of power, characterized and theorized as "the intimacy of enemies". An eclectic mix of qualitative data, including interviews and ethnography, is addressed, from which six attributes of the intimacy of enemies are derived: Border Crossing, engaging in specific forms of Interaction and Action, Redefining the Situation, generating Emotional Energy, acting on Agency and Freedom, and finally Creating Alternatives to the prevailing conflict hegemony and order. The study concludes that the exceptional capacity of these small groups to create potent alternatives is hopeful and consequential, even in the most brutal conflicts.
