About the Author
Peter Wallensteen is Senior Professor of Peace and Conflict Research at Uppsala University, Uppsala, Sweden, since 2012. He held the Dag Hammarskjöld Chair of Peace and Conflict Research, Uppsala University (1985–2012). He is also the Richard G. Starmann, Senior Research Professor of Peace Studies at the Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies, University of Notre Dame, Indiana, USA (since 2006). He directs the Uppsala Conflict Data Program (UCDP) and the Special Program on International Targeted Sanctions (SPITS). His Understanding Conflict Resolution: War, Peace and the Global System (Sage, earlier edition, available also in an Arabic translation) is used in teaching around the world. His book Peace Research: Theory and Practice (Routledge 2011) demonstrates his range of research interests and has recently been translated into Chinese. Recently he also edited together with Ambassador Anders Bjurner Regional Organizations and Peacemaking: Challengers to the UN? (Routledge 2015). In 2010, he and Isak Svensson published The Go-Between (United States Institute of Peace Press), a study of mediation efforts by the renowned Swedish diplomat Jan Eliasson. Wallensteen has published widely on conflict trends, conflict resolution, mediation, prevention, sanctions and the United Nations.
Review
Wallensteen′s updated version of Understanding Conflict Resolution keeps true to its form of providing students and scholars a way to think about managing conflicts from a systematic perspective. He develops not only the historical roots of the study of conflict management, but also provides the contemporary stetting where these core ideas apply. Knowing the development of the field also allows us to view the intellectual progress we have made over 50+ years, progress which he has been so much a part of. A book like this makes teaching a course in conflict management easy because the ideas and material are systematically organized and presented.
-- Professor Patrick Regan
There is no better introduction to the empirically based study of conflict resolution than Wallensteen′s. This new edition builds upon the strengths of the earlier editions and in clear and engaging language analyses conflict theory and the myriad of tools available to states, regional and global organizations to confront and address the challenges of resolving conflicts.
-- Professor Michael Stohl
Understanding Conflict Resolution is valuable as a systematic and comprehensive introduction to the topic and as a volume that encapsulates the wisdom and experience of one of peace research’s most influential figures. It will assist instructors to transmit the progress and values of scholarly research into conflict resolution to a new generation of students in the field.

Condition: Acceptable. LIGHTNING FAST SHIPPING! A heavily used, but still working copy. Coffee stain and wrinkling to the edge of the pages when a tired undergrad fell asleep and knocked their cup over on their books. The binding and pages of the book have been reinforced with tape, has tape and stickers on the cover, as well as lots of notes (some of the answers in the learning activities may be filled in) on the pages. Definitely not pretty, but it's a working copy at a great price that ships fast. ~ Book does NOT contain an access code or CD/DVD. Seller Inventory # #169D-0008
