This handbook offers a comprehensive analysis of peacebuilding in
ethnic conflicts, with attention to theory, peacebuilder roles,
making sense of the past and shaping the future, as well as case
studies and approaches. Comprising 28 chapters that present key
insights on peacebuilding in ethnic conflicts, the volume has
implications for teaching and training, as well as for practice and
policy. The handbook is divided into four thematic parts. Part 1
focuses on critical dimensions of ethnic conflicts, including root
causes, gender, external involvements, emancipatory peacebuilding,
hatred as a public health issue, environmental issues, American
nationalism, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Part 2
focuses on peacebuilders' roles, including Indigenous peacemaking,
nonviolent accompaniment, peace leadership in the military,
interreligious peacebuilders, local women, and young people. Part 3
addresses the past and shaping of the future, including a
discussion of public memory, heritage rights and monuments,
refugees, trauma and memory, aggregated trauma in the
African-American community, exhumations after genocide, and a
healing-centered approach to conflict. Part 4 presents case studies
on Sri Lanka's postwar reconciliation process, peacebuilding in
Mindanao, the transformative peace negotiation in Aceh and
Bougainville, external economic aid for peacebuilding in Northern
Ireland, Indigenous and local peacemaking, and a continuum of
peacebuilding focal points. The handbook offers perspectives on the
breadth and significance of peacebuilding work in ethnic conflicts
throughout the world. This volume will be of much interest to
students of peacebuilding, ethnic conflict, security studies, and
international relations.
This Companion examines contemporary challenges in Peace and
Conflict Studies (PACS) and offers practical solutions to these
problems. Bringing together chapters from new and established
global scholars, the volume explores and critiques the foundations
of Peace and Conflict Studies in an effort to advance the
discipline in light of contemporary local and global actors. The
book examines the following eight specific components of Peace and
Conflict Studies: Peace and conflict studies praxis
Structure-agency tension as it relates to social justice,
nonviolence, and relationship building Gender, masculinity, and
sexuality The role of partnerships and allies in racial, ethnic,
and religious peacebuilding Culture and identity Critical and
emancipatory peacebuilding International conflict transformation
and peacebuilding Global responses to conflict. It argues that new
critical and emancipatory peacebuilding and conflict transformation
strategies are needed to address the complex cultural, economic,
political, and social conflicts of the 21st century. This book will
be of much interest to students of peace and conflict studies,
peace studies, conflict resolution, transitional justice,
reconciliation studies, social justice studies, and international
relations.
This book examines the concept of peace leadership, bringing
together scholars and practitioners from both peace and conflict
studies and leadership studies. The volume assesses the activities
of six peace leaders, the place and role of women and youth in
leading for peace, military peace leadership, Aboriginal peace
leadership, and theoretical frameworks that focus on notions of
ecosystems, traits, and critical care. It provides insights into
how Peace Leaders work to transform inner and external blockages to
peace, construct social spaces for the development of a culture of
peace, and sustain peace efforts through deliberate educative
strategies. Conceptually, the primary aim of this book is to obtain
a better understanding of peace leadership. Practically, this book
presents one means of influencing our community (communities) to
face its problems for the sake of challenging and helping our
readers to understand and make progress on all that stands in the
way of peace (connectedness). The contributions to this volume are
drawn together by the overarching aim of this volume, which
addresses the following question: What are the concerns, dilemmas,
challenges, and opportunities for those who choose to lead and take
risks for peace? This book will be of much interest to students of
peace studies, conflict resolution, leadership studies and IR in
general.
This book examines the role of economic aid in the management and
resolution of protracted ethnic conflicts, focusing on the case
study of Northern Ireland. The book describes the results of a
study of the role of economic aid within Northern Ireland, through
the viewpoints of citizens collected in an opinion poll as well as
community group leaders whose projects received funding,
funding-agency civil servants and development officers. The study
explains the importance of economic and social development in
promoting cross-community contact as well as within single-identity
communities, and the need for a multitrack intervention approach to
transform the conflict in Northern Ireland. It makes an important
contribution to our understanding of how economic assistance
impacts on a divided society with a history of protracted violence
and provides important perspectives on the "peace through
development" idea. One of the key unanswered questions relating to
economic aid and preventing future violence is that of the
significance of external economic aid in building peace after
violence. By examining the respondents' political imagery, this
book expands on existing work on economic aid and peace building in
other societies coming out of violence. Northern Ireland's changing
social-economic and political context reflects the fact that
economic aid and sustainable economic development is a cornerstone
of the peacebuilding process. The goal of the book is to provide a
foundational knowledge base for students and practitioners about
the role of economic aid in building the peace dividend in
post-accord societies. The book will be of great interest to
students of conflict resolution, peacebuilding, Irish politics,
peace and conflict studies, and politics and IR in general.
This major Handbook comprises cutting-edge essays from leading
scholars in the field of Conflict Analysis and Resolution (CAR).
The volume provides a comprehensive overview of the core concepts,
theories, approaches, processes, and intervention designs in the
field. The central theme is the value of multidisciplinary
approaches to the analysis and resolution of conflicts. This
consists of moving from the study of analytical approaches to
understanding the deep-rooted causes of conflict, to third-party
intervention approaches to preventing or ending violence, and to
resolving and transforming conflict. The book is divided into four
main parts: Part I: Core Concepts and Theories Part II: Core
Approaches Part III: Core Practices Part IV: Alternative Voices and
Complex Intervention Designs The Handbook of Conflict Analysis and
Resolution is a benchmark publication with major importance both
for current research and for the future of the field. It will be
essential reading for all students of conflict resolution, peace
and conflict studies, and International Relations in general, as
well as to practitioners in the field.

Peace and Conflict Studies (PCS) includes scholars and
practitioners throughout the world working in peace studies,
conflict analysis and resolution, conflict management, appropriate
dispute resolution, and peace and justice studies. They come to the
PCS field with a diversity of ideas, approaches, disciplinary
roots, and topic areas, which speaks to the complexity, breadth,
and depth needed to apply and take account of conflict dynamics and
the goal of peace. Yet, a number of key concerns and dilemmas
continue to challenge the field. Critical Issues in Peace and
Conflict Studies: Theory, Practice, and Pedagogy, edited by Thomas
Matyok, Jessica Senehi, and Sean Byrne, is a collection of essays
that explores a number of these issues, providing a means by which
academics, students, and practitioners can develop various methods
to confront the complexity of contemporary conflicts. Critical
Issues in Peace and Conflict Studies discusses the emerging field
of PCS, and suggests a framework for the future development of the
field and the education of its practitioners and academics. The
book has a wide audience targeting students at the undergraduate,
graduate, and post-graduate levels. It also extends to those
working in and leading community conflict resolution efforts as
well as humanitarian aid workers."
Peace on Earth: The Role of Religion in Peace and Conflict Studies
provides a critical analysis of faith and religious institutions in
peacebuilding practice and pedagogy. The work captures the
synergistic relationships among faith traditions and how multiple
approaches to conflict transformation and peacebuilding result in a
creative process that has the potential to achieve a more detailed
view of peace on earth, containing breadth as well as depth.
Library and bookstore shelves are filled with critiques of the
negative impacts of religion in conflict scenarios. Peace on Earth:
The Role of Religion in Peace and Conflict Studies offers an
alternate view that suggests religious organizations play a more
complex role in conflict than a simply negative one. Faith-based
organizations, and their workers, are often found on the frontlines
of conflict throughout the world, conducting conflict management
and resolution activities as well as advancing peacebuilding
initiatives.
Disunited Nations explores American reactions to hostile world
opinion, as voiced in the United Nations by representatives of the
Global South from 1970 to 1984. Sean T. Byrnes suggests this
challenge had a significant impact on US policy and politics,
shaping the rise of the New Right and neoliberal visions of the
world economy. Integrating developments in American political and
diplomatic history with the international history of decolonization
and the "Third World," Disunited Nations adds to our understanding
of major transitions in foreign policy as the US moved away from
the expansive internationalist global commitments of the immediate
postwar era toward a more nationalist and neoliberal understanding
of international affairs.
In a world desperate to comprehend and address what appears to
be an ever-enlarging explosion of violence, this book provides
important insights into crucial contemporary issues, with violence
providing the lens. "Violence: Analysis, Intervention, and
Prevention "provides a multidisciplinary approach to the analysis
and resolution of violent conflicts. In particular, the book
discusses ecologies of violence, and micro-macro linkages at the
local, national, and international levels as well as intervention
and prevention processes critical to constructive conflict
transformation. The causes of violence are complex and demand a
deep multidimensional analysis if we are to fully understand its
driving forces. Yet in the aftermath of such destruction there is
hope in the resiliency, knowledge, and creativity of communities,
organizations, leaders, and international agencies to transform the
conditions that lead to such violence.
The Syrian Civil War started in March 2011 and still continues. It
causes death, turmoil, humanitarian crisis, and mass migration in
the region. Numerous state and non-state actors are involved in
this multi-sided armed conflict. On 24 November 2015, Turkey shoots
down a Russian fighter jet on its border and this event becomes the
turning point in Russo-Turkish relations. An economic and
psychological war starts between Moscow and Ankara which damages
their good relations existed before the crisis. Despite the crisis,
the sides to the conflict understand that they need each other for
their own benefits and look for reconciliation. Russia, a supporter
of the Assad government in Syria, does not want to lose Turkey as a
friend. Turkey, an energy partner of Russia, needs Russia to
balance the power relations in the region. They are two neighboring
countries with strong historical socio-economic ties that need to
be restored. The reconciliation process is not easy and requires
some third party role. The PYD/YPG-centered US policy in Syria
affects Turkey's strategies.

The twenty- first century has brought with it a shift from the
notion of human security being located in secure national borders
to the need to secure the safety, freedom, and dignity of all.
Despite efforts to equalize women's status in the world evidenced
by changes in many international projects requiring a gender focus,
women and men experience most of the world in very different ways
according to gender. Further, the reality is that humans who do not
all fall neatly into one of these categories - male or female -
often find their lives further challenged. In the 1980s, Peace and
Conflict Studies first began to acknowledge and study the different
experiences males and females have during war and peace. Since
then, there have been books about women and war, women working at
grassroots levels to build peace, women and transitional justice,
women and peace education, and women's views of human security. All
of these works have contributed to the discourse of our changing
world. This book brings together some of those themes and voices
and adds more with the final product being more than the sum of its
parts. We add to the conversation a book that considers
foundational/fundamental issues that span from the interpersonal to
the global. Many of the chapters describe empirical research
completed with author and community, shared here for the first
time. Part One is a collection of case studies, documenting
challenges and responses to peacebuilding by women from various
parts of the world. Part Two focuses on Peace and Conflict Studies
(PACS) as a discipline, examining not only what is, but also what
should be taught. This section critiques today's efforts at
teaching Peace and Conflict Studies and provides suggestions of how
this important work might be shared in more open and equitable
ways. Part Three enters territory found even less in the PACS
literature. In this section our authors confront patriarchy, engage
in a discussion about the contribution queer theory makes to PACS,
and tussle with the notion of inclusivity with considerations of
both gender and disability. It then ends with a discussion about
the contribution feminist methodologies make to PACS.

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
