Description
Approaches to Conflict: Theoretical, Interpersonal, and Discursive Dynamics aims to investigate the role of communication and emotions in conflict contexts. In addition to the fundamental importance of communication in various aspects of conflict, this volume offers a prominent position to the inherent part played by the effects of a wide range of emotions. This multi-disciplinary project draws from communication studies and media, public relations, philosophy, psychology and neuroscience, linguistics, business studies, political science, literature, and cultural studies.

This volume provides an innovative and complex examination of the role of emotions and other dynamics for conflict. It is a strong compilation representing diverse disciplinary and cultural perspectives and makes a significant contribution to the literature on conflict.

This is an edited collection displaying new orientations to the study of human conflicts, especially interpersonal ones. It gives welcome attention to the emotional life of people who find themselves in disagreement, studying goals, adolescents, and race, among other personal matters. Culture and group identity, with attention to in-group and out-group relations, are also matters that receive needed attention here. Chapters navigate smoothly between quantitative and qualitative methods, making this a suitable book for anyone seeking advanced understanding of the nature of conflict. -- Dale Hample, University of Maryland, College Park
