Abstract:
Constructive Conflicts provides a powerful analytical and empirical framework for analyzing and intervening in large-scale social and political conflicts. Readers follow conflicts as they emerge, escalate, de-escalate, become settled, and sometimes re-emerge, learning how destructive cycles of contention can be disrupted and even reversed.
