About this title

Synopsis

This is a practical handbook to conflict resolution, that shows how to overcome conflicts at all levels - from personal domestic conflicts, to issue-based struggles about race, class and gender, and finally to major international conflicts between nation states or international divides along economic and religious lines. Johan Galtung is the world's most experienced peace studies professor, and founder of the peace studies discipline. This book lays out the limitless variety of the uses to which conflict resolution theory can be applied. Revealing the interconnections between conflict at all levels of society, Galtung argues that an equal variety of solutions are available to us, if we are willing to explore them. The book will be of interest to anyone who deals with conflict on a daily basis - such as teachers, social workers, parents and couples - as well as students of peace studies. Offering handy tips and practical advice, with over 40 illustrative examples, Galtung shows how we can transcend the difficulties that lead to conflict at all levels.

About the Author

Johan Galtung (1930 - 2024) was a Norwegian sociologist, mathematician and the founder of the International Peace Research Institute in Oslo in 1959. Having survived the Nazi occupation of Norway, he became a leading light in the world of peace mediation. He authored numerous books on the topic, including Pax Pacifica, Searching for Peace and Transcend and Transform. He was awarded the Right Livelihood Award in 1987 and the Norwegian Humanist Prize in 1988.
