Review Quotes:
'The study of social conflict crosses disciplinary boundaries, levels of analysis, and the basic-applied research divide. Indeed, considerable progress has been made by social scientists in developing a broad perspective on conflict. Much of that progress is on display in this volume. It includes a multitude of insights, many counter-intuitive, about interventions tailored to types of conflict, functions and dysfunctions of conflict and its regulation, and the idea of conflict contagion. Implications of globalization, migration and multiculturalism for conflict escalation and de-escalation are developed as well. This book is a must-read for all those interested in understanding and solving a variety of social conflicts. And, that includes practically all of us!' - Daniel Druckman, School of Policy, Government, and International Affairs, George Mason Unversity, USA and Macquarie University, Australia
'Social Conflict within and between Groups presents a unique integration of fundamental and applied research. The multidisciplinary and multilevel perspective on social conflict across different countries provides a fascinating, and much-needed review of classic and contemporary theory and research.'- Michèle Birtel, School of Psychological Sciences, The University of Manchester, UK
