The Handbook of Conflict Resolution: Theory and Practice

by Morton Deutsch (Editor), Peter T. Coleman (Editor), Eric C. Marcus (Editor)

"The Handbook of Conflict Resolution, Second Edition" is written for both the seasoned professional and the student who wants to deepen their understanding of the processes involved in conflicts and their knowledge of how to manage them constructively. It provides the theoretical underpinnings that throw light on the fundamental social psychological processes involved in understanding and managing conflicts at all levels--interpersonal, intergroup, organizational, and international. "The Handbook" covers a broad range of topics including information on cooperation and competition, justice, trust development and repair, resolving intractable conflict, and working with culture and conflict. Comprehensive in scope, this new edition includes chapters that deal with language, emotion, gender, and personal implicit theories as they relate to conflict.

Not something I'd recommend for most to read cover-to-cover. A little too dense and dry for my interest and purpose, but I've used it as a reference in a number of papers for my Masters program. A good reference on conflict management.

A great compilation of articles and must read on the topic of conflict resolution for practitioners in the profit and not-for-profit sector!
