Produktbeschreibung

Violence, war, and internal conflicts have assumed a new intensity with the decline of the Cold-War. There are over 32 civil wars going on today. Our world may well witness over 100 million refugees in the year 2000 as a direct result of internal wars. This volume consists of case-studies and theory-oriented papers dealing with Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Middle East. Taken together, they spell out implications of wide general interest, providing a comparative basis for a systematic approach to conflict transformation.
