Very rarely has peace and conflict studies been combined with
public administration research. This book brings together theories
from conflict resolution, public administration, and urban studies
to present new theoretical and empirical insights from nine
in-depth case studies. The authors employ the city as a prism to
shed light on the complex, multidimensional processes of conflict,
segregation, democratisation, and governance. They use the city as
a diagnostic site for exploring the role of public administration
and civil servants in resolving contested issues in divided
societies. The researchers analyse nine multi-faceted cases:
Toronto, Copenhagen, Malmoe, Mostar, Cape Town, Belfast, Jerusalem,
Nicosia and Mitrovica - all cities at different stages of conflict
and stability and with disparate legacies. The contributors map the
tools, strategies, and understandings of conflict resolution to be
found in each city, and in so doing break new empirical and
theoretical ground.
