This new textbook provides students with an accessible overview of the logic, evolution, application and outcomes of the five major approaches of the growing field of international conflict management: traditional peacekeepingpeace enforcement and support operationsnegotiation and bargainingmediationadjudication. The book aims to provide the student with a fuller understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of these five techniques within the dynamic context of the contemporary security environment, especially in relation to recent and ongoing case studies of inter-state and intra-state conflict. To demonstrate the changing nature of security in the post-Cold War world, the text contrasts this with competing visions of security during the Cold War and earlier periods, and provides numerous points of comparison with the dominant causes, types, strategy, and prosecution of warfare in other eras. International Conflict Management will be essential reading for all students of conflict management, mediation, peacekeeping, peace and conflict studies, and international security in general. Michael J. Butler is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Government and International Relations at Clark University (USA).

"Plurale Gesellschaften im Allgemeinen und multi-ethnische im besonderen haben ein Integrationsproblem, da mehrere Gruppenloyalitäten miteinander konkurrieren, kollektive Wertesysteme eine je eigene Suprematie beanspruchen und im Namen von kollektiven Werten Forderungen nach privilegiertem Zugang zu politischer Macht oder ökonomischen Ressourcen angemeldet werden. Vielvölkerstaaten mit kompakt siedelnden Gruppen verkörpern eine spezifische Form dieses Integrationsproblems, und zwar weil kompakte Siedlung meist mit hoher Kommunikationsdichte, Ressourcenbündelung und subnationalen Identitäten, d.h. politischer Mobilisierungsfähigkeit, einhergeht. Unter welchen Voraussetzungen kann Föderalismus zur Deeskalation, Einhegung, Diffusion und Verregelung von ethnischen Konflikten beitragen? Wodurch werden gewaltfreie, lösungsorientierte, kooperative Formen der Konfliktbearbeitung gefördert? Das Konfliktregelungspotential wird daran gemessen, ob Konflikte in bestehenden Institutionen oder als Kampf um die Institutionen an sich ausgetragen werden, ob legitime, neutrale und autoritative Institutionen der Konfliktregelung existieren und institutionelle Arrangements flexibel und fähig sind, ethnisch-territoriale Kohäsion zu fragmentieren. In vier vergleichenden Fallstudien zu Russland, Indien, Nigeria und Spanien werden diese Indikatoren angewandt. (...)" (Autorenreferat)
