Preventing violent conflicts and establishing comprehensive lasting peace in some of the world’s most turbulent regions has become the new global imperative. But to be effective, peacebuilding must be a multilateral, not a unilateral process. Even for the world’s sole surviving superpower, promoting and sustaining durable peace requires communication, co-ordination, co-operation, and collaboration between local, national and international actors, nongovernmental as well as governmental. In this book, Dennis Sandole explores the theory and practice of peacebuilding, discussing the differences and similarities between core aspects of peace processes, namely violent conflict prevention; con...
This book analyzes how ‘postmodern’ conflict, such as the recent Balkan Wars, and the post-9/11 ‘new terrorism’ can be prevented and/or otherwise dealt with in the future.
Violent conflicts exist at many levels throughout the modern world and their influence extends, in varying degrees, to all aspects of everyday living. Ways of responding to conflicts are especially important, therefore, to all professionals and policy-makers who deal with human relations, where conflict can be a major feature. This book is a unique presentation of the views of practitioners, theorists and researchers from a variety of disciplines, looking at conflict resolution. It looks at constructive alternatives to the traditional ways of dealing with conflict, providing solutions which fall outside the usual 'win-lose' parameters. It is also a 'state-of-the-art' examination of the newly emerging field of conflict management, which is currently gaining ground as a specific area of study in the United States throughout the world. Contents Part I: Conflict Management: Generic Theory, Research, and Practice Part II: Conflict Management: Interpersonal to International Levels Part III: Conflict Management: The International Level Part IV: Conflict Management: Generic Theory, Research and Practice Re-visited

Identity, Morality, and Threat offers a critical examination of the social psychological processes that generate outgroup devaluation and ingroup glorification as the source of conflict. Dr. Daniel Rothbart and Dr. Karina Korostelina bring together essays analyzing the causal relationship between escalating violence and opposing images of the Self and Other. The essays confront the practice of demonizing the Other as a justification for violent conflict and the conditions that enable these distorted images to shape future decisions. The authors provide insight into the possibilities for transforming threat-narratives into collaboration-narratives, and for changing past opposition into mutual understanding. Identity, Morality, and Threat is a strong contribution to the study of identity-based conflict and psychological defenses.
