Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Regional and Ethnic Conflicts: Perspectives from the Front Lines provides an alternative vantage point that contributes new perspectives to the study of ethnopolitical conflict. The interest and insights students gain from this book into how complex ethnopolitical conflicts can be mitigated, resolved and prevented give hope to the future. From a pedagogical perspective, this text is designed to expose students to alternative perspectives. It adds realism and insight to students’ understanding of distal ethnopolitical conflicts. Contributors were purposely asked to discuss a range of factors to bring to light the complexity of ethnopolitical conflict. Their chapters are meant to prod students to internalize the importance of analyzing and understanding ethnopolitical conflicts from multiple perspectives.

Synopsis:

"Perspectives from the Front Line" presents first-hand, front-line perspectives on ethno political conflicts occurring throughout the world today. Contributors have lived and worked in regions with long histories of conflict. This reader provides a unique approach to peace and conflict studies through scholarly analysis provided by first-hand observers and participants.
