Synopsis

Violent conflicts exist at many levels throughout the modern world and their influence extends, in varying degrees, to all aspects of everyday living. Ways of responding to conflicts are especially important, therefore, to all professionals and policy-makers who deal with human relations, where conflict can be a major feature.
This book is a unique presentation of the views of practitioners, theorists and researchers from a variety of disciplines, looking at conflict resolution. It looks at constructive alternatives to the traditional ways of dealing with conflict, providing solutions which fall outside the usual 'win-lose' parameters. It is also a 'state-of-the-art' examination of the newly emerging field of conflict management, which is currently gaining ground as a specific area of study in the United States throughout the world.
