Intergroup competition and conflict create pervasive problems in
human society, giving rise to such phenomena as prejudice,
terrorism, ethnic cleansing, and interstate war. Citizens, policy
makers, social workers, schoolteachers, and politicians wrestle
with these problems, and with difficult questions these issues
pose: What causes conflict to escalate? How should we manage
conflict within communities, and also in society at large? Is
conflict always bad, or does it have other more beneficial
consequences? Social Conflict within and between Groups provides an
overview of contemporary research from the social sciences on these
questions. It brings together the research output of a number of
leading researchers in psychology, management and economics,
sociology and political science, and draws on the outcomes of ten
prominent research programs conducted over the past five years. The
chapters cover a range of fascinating topics, including prejudice
and discrimination in multi-ethnic societies, and conflict and
negotiation in the field of industrial relations. The authors also
consider the possibilities for intervention at the interpersonal,
intergroup and societal level. This is the first volume to provide
an interdisciplinary overview of the various scientific approaches
to studying the origins and consequences of social conflict. It
will be of great interest to researchers, graduates and upper-level
undergraduate students from across the social and behavioural
sciences.
