About the Author :
Lois Edmund is a psychologist and emeritus professor at Canadian Mennonite University. She is also adjunct professor in the doctoral program of the Arthur V. Mauro Centre for Peace and Justice, St. Paul’s College, University of Manitoba. In addition, she has practiced alternative dispute resolution as a mediator of family disputes, interpersonal abuse and harassment allegations, and large group conflicts.

Review :
This textbook takes a new approach to the field of peace and conflict studies. A very competent survey by a reputable scholar, it touches many major themes in the field…. The bibliographic apparatus demonstrates that Edmund is well read in the field[.] Upper-division undergraduates. Faculty. General readers. Peace and Conflict Studies programs have proliferated in the past 25 years without a foundational text to capture the breadth of the field. Introduction to Peace and Conflict Studies by Lois Edmund fills that gap with a comprehensive overview of the field. This introductory text will be of great use to those interested in learning more about the field and for students curious enough begin the study of peace and conflict. Lois Edmund took a delightful, reflective approach to distill the complex subjects of conflict and peace studies into a relatable and easily comprehensible read for those new to these subjects. The depth she provides throughout each of the subjects makes this book also beneficial for seasoned practitioners looking to enhance their theoretical understanding of the conflict engagement and peacebuilding work they perform. I feel optimistic about our world with this comprehensive text on the bookshelf of those who are freshly introduced to the principles of conflict. It will provide future generations with a deeper understanding of conflict and the tools to engage constructively. This book accomplishes its title’s ambitious goal. It is a comprehensive introduction to every essential topic in the field of conflict resolution. Each chapter is thoroughly researched and well written. The book is an excellent launching pad for anyone wishing to delve more deeply into any topic the book introduces.
