"This volume brings to the forefront a variety of critical conflicts in the world and a wide spectrum of peace communication approaches. The volume provides an in-depth look at how intricate and intractable conflicts can be and how the communicative aspects of conflicts can be equally challenging. The volume includes an incisive review and guide to past and present knowledge in the field of conflict and peace communication. It features an outstanding team of scholars, practitioners and activists and is truly interdisciplinary in spirit. It is divided into five easy to naviagate sections titled Theory Development, Method Development, Traditional/Digital Media and Peace and Conflict, Case Studies, and Innovative Approaches. A key theme throughout the Handbook is the utilization of past conflict communication theory to posit workable and innovative peace communication strategies that inform today's conflicts and can be a vital register of such communicative practices for the future. The volume also focuses on strategies of peace communication from the margins that acknowledge and elevate solutions for and from those who are most vulnerable. This volume will be indispensable to the teaching, study and practice of conflict negotiation, peacebuilding, intercultural communication, positively affecting race relations and much more. This timely publication provides students, academics and practitioners tools to navigate more and more complex local and global conflict and peace communication issues in our world."--

In this book, the late Prof. Yaacov Bar-Siman-Tov argues that the failure of the Israeli-Palestinian peace process so far has been mainly the result of the inability of both sides to reach an agreed formula for linking justice to peace.

This book demonstrates that gender is a key component of conflict and peace discourse. The marginalization of women in conflict and peace is all pervasive. Kashmir is a mirror image of this global scenario. Kashmiri women aided the militant movement in significant ways though they did not take part in direct combat. They played key roles to sustain and nourish the movement – as protestors, protectors and motivators, and facilitators. Their experiences of participation in the conflict, however, remain subdued by the dominant masculinist discourse. Kashmiri women are excluded from the militancy discourse as contributors as well as from peacemaking discourse as stakeholders. The study interrogates theory and practice of women's participation in conflict and argues that changed gender-roles during conflict do not necessarily revolutionize socially ascribed norms. The book also examines the experiences of women in sustaining conflict to make a case for their due place in negotiating formal peace

"This book addresses methodological challenges in contemporary approaches to conflict, violence and peace and development. Whilst classical approaches linked development with peace, security has become central to understandings of both war and peacetime. This book uniquely reflects on how to deal with the convergence of war and peace in the context of global development"--
