Culture and International Conflict Resolution: A Critical Analysis of the Work of John Burton

by Tarja Väyrynen, Tarja Väyrynen

This critical study of John Burton's work outlines an alternative framework for the study of international conflict. While illuminating the problems of conflict and conflict resolution from a social constructionist angle, Tarja Väyrynen also argues that culture has a fundamental role. Väyrynen argues that culture offers a grammar for acting in and reinterpreting the world, and provides understandings of conflict and its resolution.
