It suggests how agonistic dialogue can best be studied, explored, understood and managed even in the most severe political conflicts when negotiation, mediation, problem solving, dialogue for mutual understanding, and discourse ethics are unsuccessful. This approach of viewing radical disagreement as the central topic of analysis and conflict management is a new innovation in this field, and also supplements and enhances existing communicative transformational techniques. It also has wider implications for cognate fields, such as applied ethics, democratic theory, cultural studies and the philosophy of difference.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book will be of great interest to students of conflict resolution, peace and conflict studies, ethnic conflict and International Relations in general.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOliver Ramsbotham\u003c\/strong\u003e is Emeritus Professor of Conflict Resolution at the University of Bradford, UK, Chair of the Oxford Research Group, President of the Conflict Research Society and co-author of \u003cem\u003eConflict Resolution in Contemporary Conflict\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Oliver Ramsbotham\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415552087\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415552080\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/21\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 274\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.01lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.70d","brand":"Oliver Ramsbotham","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48517311693055,"sku":"9780415552080","price":67.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cb258433-6126-43dd-a736-f95b506d8adf.jpg?v=1778731281","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/transforming-violent-conflict-oliver-ramsbotham-9780415552080","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
