Reviews

"The Nature of Intractable Conflict is a valuable compendium, enriched by Mitchell's pursuit of distilling relevant but over-researched topics. Moreover, his own insights scattered throughout the text links his survey of the subject of intractability with emerging trends in current scholarship, which makes this book a relevant signpost in new research." (Ian Niccolo V. Tobia, European Review of International Studies, Vol. 3 (3), 2016)
