Description
xProvides real-world insights into social and political conflict across disciplines
The Handbook of Social and Political Conflict offers a comprehensive exploration of conflict from a variety of disciplinary perspectives, merging insights from fields including sociology, political science, psychology, communication, and conflict resolution. Bringing together original work by experts from around the world, this authoritative volume provides readers with a deep understanding of the mechanisms, causes, and consequences of conflict.
Designed for those who wish to bridge academic disciplines, the Handbook both advances theoretical understanding and offers practical conflict resolution strategies that can be applied in a broad range of contexts, from interpersonal disputes to international tensions. Each in-depth chapter tackles a unique concept while maintaining a coherent narrative that spans topics such as political polarization, the rhetoric of social control, the role of technology in shaping conflict behaviors, and much more.
Presenting new theoretical perspectives and tools to address today's most pressing issues, the Handbook of Social and Political Conflict:
- Examines contemporary issues such as political polarization, social ostracism, cancel culture, and information warfare
- Contains in-depth analysis of critical contemporary issues such as the role of technology, artificial intelligence, and media in modern conflict
- Addresses both adversarial and cooperative approaches to conflict resolution
- Incorporates cutting-edge research and theoretical frameworks on contemporary social and political conflicts
- Offers practical approaches to fostering resilience, peacebuilding, and critical media literacy
Whether examining the escalation of political tensions or exploring the potential for peacebuilding, the Handbook of Social and Political Conflict is ideal for graduate and advanced undergraduate students in conflict resolution, political science, sociology, and communication studies. It is also an invaluable reference for professionals working in conflict management, diplomacy, international relations, and social advocacy.
