The enormous surge in identity-based conflict has captivated world attention with a new sense of urgency to explain how cycle of violence are fueled by notions of identity and difference. Familiar models of nations-states at war fail to explain the character of such violence and the militant tactics that ensure escalation of hostilities.
This major new handbook comprises cutting-edge essays from leading scholars in the field of conflict analysis and resolution (CAR). The volume provides a comprehensive overview of the core concepts, theories, approaches, processes, and intervention designs in the field. The central theme is the value of multidisciplinary approaches to the analysis and resolution of conflicts. This consists of moving from the study of analytical approaches to understanding the deep-rooted causes of conflict, to third-party intervention approaches to preventing or ending violence, and to resolving and transforming conflict.
