The Handbook of Conflict Resolution (ePub)

Praise for The Handbook of Conflict Resolution

"This handbook is a classic. It helps connect the research of
academia to the practical realities of peacemaking and
peacebuilding like no other. It is both comprehensive and deeply
informed on topics vital to the field like power, gender,
cooperation, emotion, and trust. It now sits prominently on my
bookshelf."

--Leymah Gbowee, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate

"The Handbook of Conflict Resolution offers an
astonishing array of insightful articles on theory and practice by
leading scholars and practitioners. Students, professors, and
professionals alike can learn a great deal from studying this
Handbook."

--William Ury, Director, Global Negotiation Project,
Harvard University; coauthor, Getting to Yes and author,
The Third Side

"Morton Deutsch, Peter Coleman, and Eric Marcus put together a
handbook that will be helpful to many. I hope the book will reach
well beyond North America to contribute to the growing worldwide
interest in the constructive resolution of conflict. This book
offers instructive ways to make this commitment a reality."

--George J. Mitchell, Former majority leader of the
United States Senate; former chairman of the Peace Negotiations in
Northern Ireland and the International Fact-Finding Committee on
Violence in the Middle East; chairman of the board, Walt Disney
Company; senior fellow at the School of International and Public
Affairs, Columbia University

"Let's be honest. This book is just too big to carry around in
your hand. But that's because it is loaded with the most critical
essays linking the theory and practice of conflict resolution.
The Handbook of Conflict Resolution is heavy on content and
should be a well-referenced resource on the desk of every
mediator--as it is on mine."

--Johnston Barkat, Assistant Secretary-General,
Ombudsman and Mediation Services, United Nations
