Best summary available

This book does for the field what Mitchell's "The Structure of International Conflict" did so brilliantly years ago -- it compiles, condenses, and examines the breadth of the field, hitting key topics in a short space without sacrificing depth. I recommend it highly as an introduction to the field for undergraduates, graduate students, academic generalists, or practitioners looking for keys ideas in Conflict Resolution gathered into one place.

supplemental reading

The density of the writing reflects, perhaps, the complexity of the topic: dealing with large-scale, deadly conflict (i.e. war). The book covers conflict resolution theory as well as violent conflict escalation and settlement. Case studies are used to good effect in Preventing Violent Conflict, Working in War Zones, and Ending Violent Conflict. If you're interested in this topic, I would recommend this as supplemental reading.I read this for an introductory, graduate-level class on Conflict Resolution Theory. I think this book would also be useful for students of international relations, industrial psychology, political science, international development, and sociology.
