Review: This is the third edition of a writing project that began in the early 1980s. The authors' goal then, as now, was to present their ideas about the life history of conflict to a growing community of scholars, practitioners, and students. How does conflict originate? What decisions are faced by the individuals, groups, organizations, and nations that become involved in conflict? Why does conflict escalate? Why does it eventually run out of steam? What can be done to more conflict in the direction of settlement and resolution? As in the first two editions of this book, the authors' philosophy is to illustrate the answers to these questions with copious examples drawn from conflict in many realms of life.
