Despite the ubiquity of conflict, significant gaps remain in our
knowledge of what influences its escalation and resolution. How
collective identity formation impacts social conflicts is taken up
in these compelling case studies, ranging from church and community
disputes, ethnic conflicts, environmental disputes, to
international trade disputes and wars. Important themes include the
dynamics of enemy-imaging, the constructs of race and gender,
in-groups and out-groups, and the double-edged potential of
collective identity formation to both escalate and de-escalate
conflicts. Throughout, social conflicts are presented as potent
forces for cultural and political change. The contributors
highlight methods for resolving intractable identity-based
conflicts, including challenging assumptions about the OOther, O
creating inclusive identities, and using various negotiation and
mediation venues as catalysts for constructive identity shifts.
With its ground-breaking scholarship, Social Conflicts and
Collective Identities is sure to become a basic building block for
the burgeoning conflict resolution field and for improved
understanding of identity dynamics in human conflict
