Pioneers a cross-disciplinary approach to understanding, preventing, moderating, and resolving conflict.

Drawing on more than 600 references to probe sources of conflict and to prescribe means of reducing tension in organizational, institutional, and community settings, the Handbook of Conflict Management cuts across theoretical perspectives, strategic models, and situational contexts as the first all-encompassing conflict management reference for scholars and practitioners. A young field in both research and practice, this foundational text sets precedents for furthering academic study and real-world progress in managing diverse instances of conflict.
