Drawing on research from political science, sociology, social-psychology, neuroscience, cultural studies, and other disciplines, Dayton and Kriesberg follow the lifecycle of social and political conflicts as they emerge, escalate, de-escalate, become settled, and often emerge again in new forms. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe sixth edition presents numerous new examples and cases of conflict episodes that have avoided extreme coercion or violence and which have resulted in the advancement of the interests of most parties involved. The book gives policymakers, concerned citizens, and students a powerful analytical framework, supported by data, for understanding and constructively intervening in conflicts of different type and scale, offering a way out of the destructive cycles of conflict management which have come to characterize contemporary social and political relations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKey revisions and features include: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncreased attention to changes in the social and political landscape including the rise of nationalism, the erosion of liberal internationalism, conflicts related to COVID response, political polarization, and the Black Lives Matter movement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThoroughly revised cases and examples throughout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKey content revisions such as the growth of bottom-up strategies for peace and conflict management, the rise of misinformation in a 'post-truth' era, and insights from neuroscience \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTable of contents now organized around three distinct book sections and chapter titles revised to reflect new content\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumerous new figures and tables in every chapter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnd-of-chapter summaries, discussion questions, and activities\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew ancillary teaching materials, including experiential exercises, simulations, and lecture outlines with teaching tips\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bruce W.
