Ideology is particularly important to conflict. Data on intra- and international conflict shows that the number of ideologically driven conflicts has increased tremendously in recent decades. Although some researchers started to investigate this link extensively, they struggle to find holistic explanations. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book illustrates that ideologies are not only capable of shaping conflictual behavior or mobilizing political actors, but also of addressing human needs, desires, and preferences. Hence, the authors compile valuable insights from various academic disciplines to explain how individuals adopt ideologies that match their underlying needs and preferences; that ideologies have the capacity to reconcile deprived psychological human needs; and that radical groups and organizations use ideologies to recruit individuals and pursue their objectives. Real-life cases are included to better understand these relationships and to apply the theoretical background to real-world situations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Veronika Muller,Thomas Gries\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0197670180\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780197670187\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/23\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 536\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.70w x 2.30d","brand":"Veronika Muller","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48112851058943,"sku":"9780197670187","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7435bcf0-4dfe-4acc-b20d-8f272846a8e5.jpg?v=1769611368","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ideology-and-the-microfoundations-of-veronika-muller-9780197670187","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
