Understanding Conflict Resolution, the sixth edition, is a comprehensive and extensively revised introduction to resolving conflicts within and between states. Authored by one of the most highly cited scholars in the field of peace and conflict research, this textbook offers a contemporary perspective on peace-building efforts. It provides insights into various strategies for securing peace in the aftermath of political violence, encompassing a wide range of scenarios, from armed force against civilians to gender-based violence, genocide, and terrorism.
Building upon numerous peace agreements concluded in the past three decades, this book draws upon the UCDP (Uppsala Conflict Data Program), a renowned source for data on conflicts, wars, and peace. It offers valuable pathways to peace agreements in the increasingly unpredictable global political landscape. The latest research and real-world examples, including an analysis of the origins and dynamics of the Russia-Ukraine war, are incorporated throughout the text to enhance understanding and application of conflict resolution principles.
This new edition has undergone a thorough revision and update. It maintains a contemporary focus on issues and examples that reflect the evolving dynamics of political conflict. Additionally, three case studies are included to demonstrate the practical application of theory and conclusions derived from the latest research and up-to-date UCDP data.
Designed as a valuable resource for undergraduate and postgraduate students enrolled in courses related to Peace and Conflict, as well as broader programs in Negotiations, Mediation, and the United Nations, Understanding Conflict Resolution provides a comprehensive and insightful guide to the field.
