  • Product Description

    "A comprehensive overview, based upon in-depth familiarity with the research, scholarship, and practice in the field."
    ---Louis Kriesberg, Syracuse University

    "The idea that the nature and methods of conflict resolution ought to change as the kinds of conflict that dominate the world-at-large shift is very appealing."
    ---Professor Lawrence Susskind, Director, MIT-Harvard Public Disputes Program

    In the past, arbitration, direct bargaining, the use of intermediaries, and deference to international institutions were relatively successful tools for managing interstate conflict. In the face of terrorism, intrastate wars, and the multitude of other threats in the post-Cold War era, however, the conflict resolution tool kit must include preventive diplomacy, humanitarian intervention, regional task-sharing, and truth commissions. Here, Jacob Bercovitch and Richard Jackson, two internationally recognized experts, systematically examine each one of these conflict resolution tools and describe how it works and in what conflict situations it is most likely to be effective.

    Conflict Resolution in the Twenty-first Century is not only an essential introduction for students and scholars, it is a must-have guide for the men and women entrusted with creating stability and security in our changing world.

    Jacob Bercovitch is Professor of International Relations at the University of Canterbury, New Zealand.

    Richard Jackson is Deputy Director of the Centre for the Study of Radicalisation and Contemporary Political Violence at Aberystwyth University.
