OVERVIEW

The 20th century was the most bloody in history and already conflict in this century has taken a heavy toll. Most wars are now within countries rather than between states and often it is civilians that suffer most, especially women and children.

This invaluable book is excellent for students, peace groups and activists. With tables, maps, case studies and quotes it looks at how conflict escalates and ways it can be prevented. It examines the changing types of war, including the ‘War on Terror' and ethnic conflict such as in Rwanda; the role of diplomacy and the UN, and what steps ordinary people are taking to re-build communities. It offers ideas and inspiration for creating lasting peace.
