International Conflict Resolution 2nd Ed. (International Relations for the 21st Century)
"Charles Hauss's keen observations on contemporary conflicts, from Northern Ireland to Darfur to Israel, demonstrate the changing nature of complex global relationships necessary to resolve these human and political tragedies. Extraordinarily insightful and told in a personal and captivating style, this is an important exploration of the role of states, non-states and non-traditional actors to transform hostilities to more peaceful, possibly "win-win" agreements. Drawing on theory and his own and colleagues' first-hand experiences, this is a book that is most timely and notable." —Richard O'Neill, President, The Highlands Group"The 2nd edition of International Conflict Resolution blends theory, analysis and case studies to provide exceptional insights into an area of increasing importance to people of all nations. Unlike many textbooks, it highlights the role of dreams, passion and politics in real world situations, even as it uses theoretical analysis to help make sense of the exceptionally complex environments surrounding conflict resolution. It also addresses non-conventional relationships, such the growing need for the military and many NGOs to find ways to engage effectively and appropriately. The references are extraordinary, with links not only to references, but also to key organizations. I learned a great deal from this book, and recommend it highly." —Dr. Linton Wells, Acting Assistant Secretary of Defense"Charles Hauss's keen observations on contemporary conflicts, from Northern Ireland to Darfur to Israel, demonstrate the changing nature of complex global relationships necessary to resolve these human and political tragedies.
