Michael J. Butler, Clark University, Worcester, USA
This new textbook provides
students with an accessible
overview of the logic, evolution,
application and outcomes of
the five major approaches of
the growing field of
international conflict
management:
• traditional peacekeeping
• peace enforcement and
support operations
• negotiation and bargaining
• mediation
• adjudication.
The book aims to provide the student with a fuller
understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of these
five techniques within the dynamic context of the
contemporary security environment, especially in relation
to recent and ongoing case studies of inter-state and
intra-state conflict. To demonstrate the changing nature
of security in the post-Cold War world, the text contrasts
this with competing visions of security during the Cold
War and earlier periods, and provides numerous points
of comparison with the dominant causes, types, strategy,
and prosecution of warfare in other eras.
