At a time of mounting turmoil in world politics, conflict prevention and resolution, peacekeeping, and peacebuilding have never been more important as priorities on the global agenda. The wars in Ukraine and Gaza, and tensions between the major powers in what is now a multi-polar world, require new conflict resolution responses. The fifth edition of this hugely popular text offers a commanding overview of today's changing conflict landscape and the latest developments and new ideas in the field. Fluently written in an easy-to-follow style, it guides readers carefully through the key concepts, issues and debates, evaluates successes and failures, and assesses the main challenges for conflict resolution today. To counter the prevailing patterns of transnational conflict, the book argues for a response based on cosmopolitan conflict resolution, grounded in the promotion of the cosmopolitan values on which the welfare and life hopes of future generations depend.
Comprehensively updated and illustrated with lively new case studies throughout, the fifth edition returns to its favoured twelve-chapter format. It remains the go-to text for students of peace and security studies, conflict management and international politics as well as policy-makers and those working in NGOs and think-tanks.
