Description: Conflict, Cooperation, and Justice offers an insightful collection of essays focused on Deutsch's groundbreaking work during his pioneering fifty-year career in the field of social psychology. Published in association with the Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues (SPSSI), this cross-disciplinary volume contributes to theory and practice in the study of conflict, cooperation, and justice - with applications that cut across business, community, political, and education groups.

The contributors - all leading scholars in their fields and former students or colleagues of Deutsch - bring together their expertise in a range of areas including labor relations, school-based conflict resolution, cooperative education programs, and business policy to examine the unanswered questions about conflict, cooperation, and justice that require further study.

The authors provide practical examples and models to help practitioners and students alike understand such important issues as dealing with intractable conflict, reconciling the strengths and difficulties of cooperatively structured organizations, and using appropriate combinations of distributive and procedural justice principles to address the contemporary problem of downsizing. The book's three parts each focus on one of the areas of Deutsch's work and conclude with a commentary by Deutsch.
