International Conflict Resolution: International Relations for the 21st Century
Autor Professor Charles Haussen Limba Engleză Paperback – 2 iun 2010
Conflict is at the heart of international relations and as we begin the new millennium it is occurring in new and vexing forms. This new edition looks at conflict both as an important subject in its own right and as a powerful lens through which to view international relations more generally. Charles Hauss provides a lively introduction to both theory and practice. He begins by tracing the three stages in most typologies of international conflict: origins, ending the fighting and reconciliation. A broad selection of case studies, covering many of the major conflicts the world has faced in the last ten years, provides the reader with material they can use to form their own judgements about the theories.

Recenzii
"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
