Introduction to Conflict Resolution : Discourses and Dynamics, Hardback Book

Introduction to Conflict Resolution : Discourses and Dynamics Hardback

Edited by Sara Cobb, Sarah Federman, Alison, Core Instructor for Peace and Conflict Studies at the University of Colorado Boulder Castel

Part of the Peace and Security in the 21st Century series

Hardback

Description

The field of conflict resolution has evolved dramatically during the relatively short duration of the discipline's existence.

Each generation of scholars has struggled with the major puzzles of their era, providing theories and solutions that meet the needs of the time, only to be pushed forward by new insights and, at times, totally upended by a changing world. This introductory course text explores the genealogy of the field of conflict resolution by examining three different epochs of the field, each one tied to the historical context and events of the day.

In each of these epochs, scholars and practitioners worked to understand and address the conflicts that the world was facing, at that time. This book provides a framework that students will carry with them far into their careers, enriching their contributions and strengthening their voices.

Rather than a didactic approach to the field, students will develop their critical analytical skills through an inductive inquiry.

Students will broaden their vocabulary, grapple with argumentation, and develop critical reading skills.
