“Contemporary Conflict Resolution is the gold standard of books on peace and conflict. It is detailed, comprehensive, and easy-to-access. It is a must for any student reading list. The breadth of information in a single volume is remarkable.”
Roger Mac Ginty, Durham University

Kevin Avruch, George Mason University
“This fifth edition of Contemporary Conflict Resolution remains the best go to overview of the field. The authors have updated and added to this extraordinary resource for reference, teaching and engaged practice. An irreplaceable volume!”
John Paul Lederach, University of Notre Dame
The indispensable guide to conflict resolution in a troubled world Conflict prevention and resolution, peacekeeping, and peacebuilding have never been more important as priorities on the global agenda. The wars in Ukraine and Gaza, and tensions between the major powers in what is now a multi-polar world, require new conflict resolution responses. The fifth edition of this hugely popular text offers a commanding overview of today’s changing conflict landscape and the latest developments and new ideas in the field. Fluently written in an easy-to-follow style, it guides readers carefully through the key concepts, issues and debates, evaluates successes and failures, and assesses the main challenges for conflict resolution today. Comprehensively updated and illustrated with new case studies, the fifth edition returns to its favoured twelve-chapter format. It remains the leading text for students of peace and security studies, conflict management and international politics, as well as policy-makers and those working in NGOs and think tanks.
