Praise for the 2014 Edition:
“Truth and data are the first casualties of armed conflict. Peace and Conflict 2014 provides a very useful and accessible overview of key trends and themes, begins to address some of the burning issues in the field, and helps put risks into perspective.”
―Tilman Brück, Director, Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, Sweden
“The book is a treasure trove, methodically collated and analysed by a group of scholars of repute; striking for its applicability to various burning situations. Importantly, it focuses on the study of conflict and peace-building at the micro level; covering an array of key topics such as ethnicity, climate, foreign aid, sexual violence, mass atrocities and terrorism, as well as humanitarian and reconstruction responses...Overall, Peace and Conflict 2014 is an invaluable aid to policy-makers and global peace movements both as a fund of information and a tool that will help strategize their future course of action.”
―Global Dialogue Review
Praise for Previous Editions:
Peace and Conflict 2012 was a Choice Recommended title!
“Too much of the writing on international affairs is long on opinions and short on facts. Peace and Conflict is the rare exception. Its clear presentations of evidence and analyses help to better inform discussions about the most pressing security challenges in today’s world.”
―Fareed Zakaria, Editor, Newsweek International
“Peace and Conflict is an essential tool for scholars and policy makers seeking the facts behind the headlines about the nature and extent of conflict around the world. It provides a systematic, empirically grounded, and highly nuanced assessment of the darker aspects of human nature and underscores, yet again, the inescapable truth of our interconnected world and intertwined fate.”
―Vartan Gregorian, President, Carnegie Corporation of New York
“Across the globe governments are now trying to make sense of, and cope with, breakdowns in global order of unprecedented complexity. Widening gaps between rich and poor; multiplying ‘failed states’; spreading threats from nonstate actors using more deadly forms of terrorism as tools against settled societies; and storm clouds labeled ‘ideological and religious war’ all challenge scholars and policy makers alike with many questions, and few answers. Peace and Conflict 2008 provides crucial clues about this uncertain future. Reams of critical data and analysis, together with identification of current trends and likely outcomes, point governments as well as international and nongovernmental organizations toward better intervention strategies. Its excellent introduction highlights the main conclusions for the policy community. In short, Peace and Conflict 2008 is a tour de force!”
―The Honorable Samuel Lewis, Past President, United States Institute of Peace
