Understanding Conflict Resolution is a comprehensive introduction to the study of peace and conflict studies. It explores both the historical roots of the study of conflict management, as well as the contemporary settings and the tools available to states, regional and global organizations where these core ideas apply. Drawing on cutting-edge research and examples from around the world, the fifth edition includes:


  • Three new chapters on the key threats and hopes emerging post-2010: one-sided violence, including genocide and terrorism;gendering international affairs; and climate challenges stemming from global warming and the danger of nuclear war

  • Brand new case studies focusing on contemporary events and issues: ISIS; Brexit; Nuclear Arms Race; Refugees as a weapon of war.

  • Learning features such as graphs, data sets, a glossary, annotated further reading lists, and access to a companion website full of online resources.


This is an essential text for all students, lecturers and researchers of peace and conflict resolution in international relations, global politics and political science.

This book shows the possibilities to solve conflicts within and between states in ways that are both academically qualified and useful for practice in diplomacy and mediation. It also convincingly demonstrates the potential for international organizations in peace making.



Jan Eliasson, Ambassador, former Swedish Minister for Foreign Affairs, Deputy Secretary General of the UN 2012-2016.


 



This Fifth Edition of Understanding Conflict Resolution  continues to analyse how to understand, manage and transform violent conflict non violently in the 21st century. In addition to its excellent diagnostic tools  it has a completely new section  on  climate change and conflict. This chapter focuses particular attention on nuclear winter and the probable impacts of unchecked climate change on conflict dynamics. Understanding Conflict Resolution will continue to be a leading text in the field for many years to come,

In this new edition, Peter Wallensteen has updated his powerful argument that pairing applicable norms with appropriate techniques yields optimal results in conflict resolution. It is an argument every student, scholar, and person concerned with peace should know and engage. 



Mary Ellen O’Connell, Robert and Marion Short Professor of Law, University of Notre Dame
