ok

Great stuff to know what conflict study is!

Excellent condition and I love the book

Great book!

Good read.

I am an graduating senior, so my humble opinion should only count from the perspective of a peace and justice studies student.I just wanted to say that this was one of the main books we used in my conflict transformation/peacebuilding course during my undergrad. My overall opinion is that it was a very strong and helpful textbook. I have never had a textbook in my life that once I read the first and second chapter, I couldn't stop reading it.I must say I was dissapointed by their treatment of environmental ethics and conflict. There was little mention of nonathropocentrism and how that might change the field. Instead, they refer to the field in very anthropocentric terms, which is the status quo, but they failed to at least acknowledge it. Also, they lightly touch on the history of nonviolence in an early chapter, and then they shelf it for the rest of the book, which was unfortunate.I find it helpful that they do a treatment of the field that recognizes and respect also other theories, as well as non-western, non-northern thinking at certain points. It does a good job at responding to critiques from outside the field. It also opens a way to see the the contemporary challenges field, and where future work will need to be done in order to advance the field. For example, they begin scratching the surface at points about cyberpeacemaking, and talking about the role of social media in regards to contemporary conflict resolution. However, it is still such a novel idea, that they provide a theoretical basic of what is happening but still recognize as a new frontier.I am glad I got to read this book before graduating. I feel it has helped me frame the field better, and the knowledge I have gained from it will serve valuable to me as a prospective peacebuilder. I think this textbook should be a must.

Book was required reading for a class. I did not enjoy the book at all and found numerous journal articles to be much more helpful in explaining CR.

Excellent book and customer service.

It a good book that I used for a conflict class. I received it in a very good shape and a higher quality production

Bought this to help me with a essay i need to write for international relations at uni and it has absolutely everything you need to know it it. very useful book!

A pesar de que existe una traducción de la segunda edición, opté por esta tercera en inglés debido a que incluye varios capítulos nuevos que se centran más en los conflictos actuales.

good quality price relation. I found it very useful for my degree in Law, but it's also easy to read for anyone interested in the matter
