Synopsis
The conflict Helix, which is Volume 2 in the series Understanding Conflict and War, takes Professor Rummel's explorations into the nature and inevitability of conflict a step further - from the human dimensions catalogued in Volume 1, The Dynamic Psychological Field, to the socio-cultural dimensions of individuals acting in and as part of groups. Concentrating on theories and studies of social behavior, status, power, and class structure, Professor Rummel relates group actions to conflict resolution and gives strong indications of how each contributes to the development of conflict in different societies - the exchange society., the authoritative society, and the coercive society. As he did in Volume 1, the author bases his analysis in a solid empirical framework and extensively unitizes field theory. This important work - part of a definitive study of violence and war - offers an understanding which is vital for survival in today's world. It is a must for political scientists, sociologists, specialist in psychohistory and psychopolitics, researchers into international behavior and interaction, and theorists and policy-makers concerned with the resolution of conflict within and between nations.
