The Contemporary Conflict Resolution Reader is the first comprehensive survey of the field as it has evolved over the last fifty years, bringing together the seminal writings of its founders with the cutting-edge interventions of today's leading exponents and practitioners.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDrawing on their extensive experience and knowledge of conflict and peace research across the world, the editors have selected a rich and illuminating set of readings that offer a unique and accessible overview of the many different aspects of conflict resolution. The chapters range across prevention, nonviolence, constructive approaches, mediation, negotiation, reconciliation and peace-building. Each one is framed by an editorial introduction and the readings are helpfully broken up into the following sections: reflective pieces, guides to practice, case studies and tools for learning. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCovering classical and contemporary ideas, the Reader includes extracts which mark the continued innovation, relevance and dynamism of the field globally. Whether used on its own or as a companion to the hugely popular Contemporary Conflict Resolution, this Reader will be an invaluable resource for students and teachers of peace and conflict research, politics and international relations, as well as practitioners working in the field. While acknowledging the scale of the challenges ahead, this inspiring collection suggests a hopeful and practical vision of the way forward for conflict resolution in the 21st century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHugh Miall\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of International Relations at the University of Kent.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTom Woodhouse\u003c\/b\u003e is Adam Curle Professor of Conflict Resolution at the University of Bradford.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eOliver Ramsbotham\u003c\/b\u003e is Emeritus Professor of Conflict Resolution at the University of Bradford.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChristopher Mitchell\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor Emeritus of Conflict Resolution at George Mason University.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 408\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.1 x 9.7 x 6.8 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 23, 2015\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42737339203647,"sku":"9780745686769","price":162.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/e59de020da647266a81462b604097f57.webp?v=1765149617","url":"https:\/\/dhl-adrianne.myshopify.com\/products\/the-contemporary-conflict-resolution-reader-hardcover","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
