The eagerly anticipated follow up to Leashing the Dogs of War. In the midst of a global political shift where power moves from central institutions to smaller, more disbursed units, another landmark text edited by Chester A. Crocker, Fen Osler Hampson and Pamela Aall provides essential insights and practical guidance. In Managing Conflict in a World Adrift, 40 of the world’s leading international affairs analysts examine the relationship between political, social or economic change and the outbreak and spread of conflict. They then consider what this means for conflict management.

For more than a decade, this series of titles has been the definitive resource for students and practitioners of conflict management who want a better understanding of the most contemporary thinking about what causes conflict and how to prevent and manage it. Hallmarks of this book include:

• Innovative thinking from 40 of the world’s leading analysts
• New approaches and methodologies
• Current situations and relevant solutions
• Wide spectrum of perspectives in both theory and practice
• Strategies and tactics for the realities of conflict management today

Emerging systemic and societal transformations call for thought leadership grounded in the reality out in the field.
