It is theoretically sophisticated and introduces readers to the fundamentals of negotiation theory, resistance studies, and long term peacebuilding, justice and reconciliatory processes. It does all of this while focusing a conflict management lens on critical 21st century issues such as social media for the public good, gender based conflict, refugees and migration and the biggest existential dilemma of all climate change and conflict.
