[Nathan Zimmermann · Rating 3 out of 5]

The book would have received five stars except that the prose employed by the authors is quite dense and requires multiple re-readings to achieve a fundamental understanding of the concepts involved.

Read this for me thesis on Un peacekeeping and it gave a good base on which I could formulate my terminology and could introduce conflict resolution. It honestly dragged a bit, but certain chapters were amazingly helpful!

Algunaos conceptos y teorías interesantes, pero demasiado repetitivo.

Very good ones for the scholars in peace studies and conflict resolution that defines thoroughly the terms of conflict resolution and distinguishes among the CR and the other related definitions.
