Turbulent Peace: The Challenges of Managing International Conflict

Jacob Bercovitch, University of Canterbury
"The most comprehensive and wide-ranging book on the causes of conflict in the complex, contemporary international environment..."


Book Description
Like its predecessor, Managing Global Chaos, this comprehensive volume explores the sources of contemporary conflict and the vast array of possible responses to it. Fifty of the most influential and innovative analysts of international affairs present multiple perspectives on how best to prevent, manage, or resolve conflicts around the world. Four new themes emerge in this volume: the return of geopolitics; the recognition that differenct societies require different peacemaking strategies; the pull and tub between conflict management and post-conflict governance issues, such as democratization; and the understanding that creating a sustainable peace is as difficult as making peace in the first place.
