Violent conflicts exist at many levels throughout the modern world and their influence extends, in varying degrees, to all aspects of everyday living. Ways of responding to conflicts are especially important, therefore, to all professionals and policy-makers who deal with human relations, where conflict can be a major feature.
This book is a unique presentation of the views of practitioners, theorists and researchers from a variety of disciplines, looking at conflict resolution. It looks at constructive alternatives to the traditional ways of dealing with conflict, providing solutions which fall outside the usual 'win-lose' parameters. It is also a 'state-of-the-art' examination of the newly emerging field of conflict management, which is currently gaining ground as a specific area of study in the United States throughout the world.

Review
"A remarkable collection of writings. The eminent scholars it features articulate with insight and passion a wide range of views. No other book better relates the Supreme Court's landmark decision of 1954 to the debates and anxieties of our own time."-Randall Kennedy, Harvard Law School
"In this thought-provoking volume, the academically distinguished 'justices' of the 'Balkin Court' offer competing thoughts about the role of the Supreme Court and the Constitution in overcoming racial discrimination. Complete with helpful introductory material, commentary on their opinions by each 'justice, ' and the texts of the original Brown decisions, What Brown v. Board of Education Should Have Said is a valuable source of ideas, commentary, and insights into the challenges of racial discrimination, both historical and present."-Gerald Rosenberg, Northwestern University School of Law
-,
"This intriguing collection provides unique insights into the way today's constitutional theorists would go about deciding Brown v. Board of Education, and into contemporary constitutional theory more generally. It also illuminates Brown v. Board of Education itself, by bringing the insights of nearly fifty years of experience to bear on the problem the Court faced in 1954. Those interested in Brown and in constitutional theory will all benefit from thinking about what these authors have to say."-Mark Tushnet, Georgetown University Law Center
"Balkan offers his own assessment in a critical introduction and the iconic impact of "Brown"."-"Black Issues Book Review",
