Synopsis
This comprehensive analysis of all kinds of social and political conflicts reveals an important, but neglected truth: conflicts often are waged constructively. Drawing on past and current theory, research, and practice, Constructive Conflicts presents a systematic and coherent approach to understanding how a wide variety of struggles can be waged constructively in a new global context.

Kriesberg . . . is one of the few people at home with the literature of conflict resolution and international politics, of psychology, sociology, and political science, moving readily back and forth between them. His judgements are insightful and judicious. . . . The sweep and balance of the analysis make it a good choice for a textbook in a graduate or undergraduate course on conflict resolution.
