Review
'It is a book destined to become a classic - and a must for every classroom, every member of groups at war or attempting to negotiate, arbitrate or impose a ceasefire.' Yehudi Menuhin'The important role diplomacy has played is described and a last chapter is on the ending of warfare and creation of accountability.' New World 'This book provides a detailed examination of the nature and characteristics of current contemporary warfare and suggests radical and original approaches towards prevention and resolution.' Oxfam's Review of Journals'This book should prove invaluable for undergraduates seeking to understand the mysteries of conflict resolution. It should be required reading for everyone involved in conflict and its resolution, from NATO officials to slobodan Milosevic.' Journal of Refugee Studies

‘It is a book destined to become a classic.’ Yehudi Menuhin
In recent years the terms 'genocide' and 'ethnic cleansing' have not only reentered the common vocabulary, but seem now to be tolerated and accepted as the inevitable consequences of the wars and conflicts that, as much as ever before, plague the world's landscape. But as yet there is no globally accepted structure through which conflict can be tackled. How should we as individuals, as nations and as an international community respond to conflict?
Civil Wars, Civil Peace offers a radical new approach to conflict prevention, resolution and diplomacy. Designed for undergraduate students as well as for practitioners and peace negotiators, the book provides an overview of conflict in the post-Cold War world, covering key topics such as identifying and assessing early warnings of conflict, and the need to take early action; information gathering and analysis; and the need for preventive diplomacy. In particular, the role of non-governmental organisations and other third-party mediators in conflict resolution is considered.
