'This volume is a much needed contribution to the study of peace and conflict in the contemporary world. Wide-ranging, interdisciplinary and topical, it renders peace and conflict studies relevant beyond the immediate post-Cold war era into the twenty-first century.' - M.K. Flynn, University of the West of England, Bristol
