Description
Contemporary Conflict Resolution is the indispensable guide to conflict resolution in a troubled world.
Conflict prevention and resolution, peacekeeping, and peacebuilding have never been more important as priorities on the global agenda. The wars in Ukraine and Gaza, and tensions between the major powers in what is now a multi-polar world, require new conflict resolution responses.
The fifth edition of this hugely popular text offers a commanding overview of today’s changing conflict landscape and the latest developments and new ideas in the field. Fluently written in an easy-to-follow style, it guides readers carefully through the key concepts, issues and debates, evaluates successes and failures, and assesses the main challenges for conflict resolution today.
Comprehensively updated and illustrated with new case studies, the fifth edition returns to its favoured twelve-chapter format. It remains the leading text for students of peace and security studies, conflict management and international politics, as well as policy-makers and those working in NGOs and think tanks.

Peacekeeping and Conflict Resolution
Conflict resolution and peacekeeping are not only closely related conceptually, they were also "inventions" of the same historical period. Peacekeeping was first defined under the Hammarskjold Principles of 1956, while we can date the formal institutionalisation of conflict resolution to the founding of the Journal of Conflict Resolution in 1957. However, it is in the 1990s that conflict resolution theorists...Hardback$37600Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 4-6 weeks -
