About the Book

Highly regarded by instructors as the most comprehensive and insightful textbook on conflict resolution, Constructive Conflicts has been significantly revised and updated in this second edition. The new edition builds on the strengths of the first, especially its organization around the different stages at which conflicts emerge, escalate, and resolve. Kriesberg's analysis utlizes diverse theoretical perspectives and data and is relevant for strategies that a variety of people can employ to foster constructive struggles. In this second edition to his highly recommended, leading textbook in conflict and peace studies by peaceful means Professor Kriesberg has included very valuable material on South Africa and apartheid, on the women's and Civil Rights movements in the USA and the justice and globalization movements. And, above all, on international terrorism and the al Qaeda network. In a dynamic world authors have to be equally dynamic. Professor Kriesberg is one of those.

Review :
"Constructive Conflicts represents the culmination of the author's past work integrated with other major advances in the field to date. Kriesberg's latest work constitutes a major contribution to peace studies. It should serve as a useful resource for years to come." --Social Forces "Captures the complexity of major disputes and shows how cycles of constructive and destructive actions coexist and play out over time. This is a must-read for scholars and practitioners in the field." --Deborah M. Kolb, Harvard Law School "This comprehensive book should become THE analytical bible for those who want to direct the energies generated by conflict, on any scale and in any place, into constructive channels." --Harold H. Saunders, former U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for Near East and South Asia "Kriesberg . . . is one of the few people at home with the literature of conflict resolution and international politics, of psychology, sociology, and political science, moving readily back and forth between them. His judgements are insightful and judicious. . . . The sweep and balance of the analysis make it a good choice for a textbook in a graduate or undergraduate course on conflict resolution." --Political Science Quarterly
