The Handbook:
- Introduces the PAIRTAPS and explains the methodology for analyzing responses.
- Defines war-related concepts from the unique perspectives of Western Europe, U.K./U.S., Middle East, Gulf States, Russia/Balkans, Africa, Latin America, South/Southeast Asia, and East Asia.
- Provides an integrative summary of definitions and points of view.
- Situates results in terms of social engagement/disengagement theory.
- Considers implications for peace and reconciliation.
