Paradigms, Theories, and Metaphors in Conflict and Conflict Resolution: Coherence or Confusion?

Dr. Sandole presents a discussion of theory and research relevant to conflict initiation and escalation (with implications for resolution) at various levels ranging from interpersonal to international  - and the extent to which the literature reflects 'coherence or confusion.'

Designed for postgraduates or researchers who wish to understand the integration of theory and practice in conflict resolution, this volume contains a series of essays which aims to help readers understand and deal with the major problems of violent conflict at all levels, worldwide.
