The Transformation of Violent Intercommunal Conflict

"Over the past decade there has been a remarkable growth of interest in the concept of conflict transformation and the closely related strategy of grass-roots peacebuilding. Yet there is no consensus on what 'transformation' really means. No general critical analysis of the concept of conflict transformation in the context of violent intercommunal conflict, and the different approaches that can be included in response to this category of dispute, yet exists. This study offers a comprehensive survey and critical overview of this emerging area of study."--BOOK JACKET.
