The Age of Unpeace : How Connectivity Causes Conflict
A FINANCIAL TIMES ECONOMICS BOOK OF THE YEAR'Compulsively readable...An essential course in geopolitical self-help' - Adam Tooze'Full of fresh - and often surprising - ideas' - Niall Ferguson 'Extraordinary...One of those rare books that defines the terms of our conversation about our times' - Michael Ignatieff We thought connecting the world would bring lasting peace.Instead, it is driving us apart. In the three decades since the end of the Cold War, global leaders have been working to create a connected world.They've integrated the world's economy, transport and communications, breaking down borders in the hope of making war impossible.In doing so, they unwittingly created a formidable arsenal of weapons for new kinds of warfare. Troublingly, we are now seeing rising conflict at every level, from individuals on social media all the way up to full-blown war in eastern Europe.The past decade has seen a new antagonism between the US, Russia and China; an inability to co-operate on global issues such as climate change and pandemic response; and a breakdown in the distinction between war and peace, as the theatre of conflict expands to include sanctions, cyberwar and the pressures of large migrant flows. A leading authority on international relations, Mark Leonard lays out the ways that globalization has broken its fundamental promise to make our world safer and more prosperous, and explores how we might wrest a more hopeful future from an age of unpeace.

Picturing Peace : Photography, Conflict Transformation, and Peacebuilding
How can photographers, curators, and editors convey narratives of peace and not just stories of war?Providing interdisciplinary and international perspectives on timely debates, Picturing Peace explores humanitarianism and visual culture, community collaboration, collective memory, and imagined futures for creating and sustaining of civil societies.How things look and are perceived are not superficial issues; when it comes to war and conflict, photography is vitally relevant not only to documenting violence, but also to rebuilding peaceful societies. Genealogies of photographic representation and conflict; ethical questions related to the gaze and decolonisation; the significance of archival material for reassessing the cultural construction of enmity and harmony; and, finally, how recent initiatives have sought to think through and enact possibilities for peace.These timely issues - operating between picturing and peacebuilding - feed into a wider, urgent question: how can we care for a shared world?Exploring multiple forms of peace photography, the volume offers a range of voices from preeminent international scholars, as well as interviews with practicing photographers who have experience of working with post-conflict communities, including Jacques Nkinginzabo (Learning for Change, Rwanda); Newsha Tavakolian (Magnum Photos); and Martina Bacigalupo (Agence Vu).Picturing Peace is a timely investigation into the politics of representation, questioning how photographers might help foster social relationships, transform conflicts, and reconcile communities in the image-oriented cultures of the 20th and 21st centuries.

Conflict Coaching Fundamentals : Working With Conflict Stories
We naturally create stories to help us make meaning of our world, but in conflict situations the kinds of stories we typically tell ourselves can actually make it harder for us to manage and resolve the conflict constructively.This book provides an accessible framework for understanding why people tell their conflict stories the way they do, and how to help them move away from conflict stories that prevent them from understanding and responding to conflict in an effective way.Presented using highly engaging and accessible cases, the book is designed to help people working with others in conflict to fully support them by understanding which areas of the conflict story to focus their attention on, and using practical techniques to support people to rewrite their story into a more constructive one to better manage the situation.The book also provides practical strategies to help people who are themselves in a conflict scenario to rewrite and enact a version of their conflict story that helps them to more constructively manage, and often resolve, their situation.A conflict management coaching system is introduced that is designed to address the particular problems created by dysfunctional conflict stories.This is a book specifically for those who work with people in conflict (mediators, conflict coaches, managers, lawyers, HR staff, teachers) and also for anyone who wishes to better understand their own experience of conflict.

What is the difference between an evaluation conflict, a relationship conflict, and a distribution conflict?
An evaluation conflict arises when there are differing opinions on the quality or effectiveness of work or ideas. This type of conflict is focused on the merit of the work itself. Relationship conflicts, on the other hand, involve interpersonal tensions and issues between individuals, often unrelated to the work itself. Distribution conflicts occur when there are disagreements over the allocation of resources, such as money, time, or responsibilities. Each type of conflict requires different approaches and strategies for resolution.

What is the difference between interrole conflict and intrarole conflict?
Interrole conflict occurs when the expectations of different roles a person holds are in conflict with each other. For example, a person may experience interrole conflict when the demands of their work role conflict with the demands of their family role. On the other hand, intrarole conflict occurs when the expectations within a single role are in conflict with each other. For instance, a manager may experience intrarole conflict when they are torn between being supportive and being assertive with their team members. In summary, interrole conflict involves conflicts between different roles, while intrarole conflict involves conflicts within a single role.

The YMCA at War : Collaboration and Conflict during the World Wars
The Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA) is best known for its athletic and youth programs, a heritage that draws on its origins in 1844 to provide wholesome recreation to urban youth away from the moral decay of industrialized urban living.Before long, that uplift mission found a place in the American Civil War, and soon the Y had spread all over the world by the early twentieth century, and in every major war thereafter as well.The YMCA at War: Collaboration and Conflict during the World Wars is the first collection of scholarship to examine the YMCA’s efforts during the World Wars of the twentieth century, which proved to be a bastion of support to soldiers and civilians around the world.The YMCA deployed hundreds of thousands of its much-vaunted secretaries to support suffering civilians and ease soldiers’ wartime hardships.Joining forces with governments, other civic organizations, and individuals, the Y could be either an indispensable auxiliary or an arms-length nuisance.In all cases, its support had a significant byproduct: for every person it befriended, the Y invariably made an enemy with an opposing party, its patrons, its sponsor, or at times, all three.The YMCA at War offers fresh, timely research in an international and comparative perspective from scholars around the world that evaluates this conflict and collaboration during the World Wars.

Critical Intercultural Pedagogy for Difficult Times : Conflict, Crisis, and Creativity
This collection lends a critical decolonising lens to intercultural communication research, bringing together perspectives on how forms of education embedded in the arts and humanities can open up intercultural understanding among young people in conditions of conflict and protracted crises. The book draws on case studies from a range of educational contexts in the Global South which engage in creative arts methodologies to foreground decolonising approaches to intercultural communication in which researchers question their own power in the research process.The volume offers intercultural resources that can be used by researchers and community support groups to foster active intercultural communication, dialogue, participation, and responsibility among young people in these settings and those who may be marginalised from them.The collection also highlights the reflexive accounts of researchers working in a transnational, interdisciplinary, and multilingual research network and the subsequent opportunities and challenges of working in such networks. Advocating for intercultural understanding among young people in higher education and a greater focus on social justice in intercultural communication research, this book will be of interest to students and researchers in applied linguistics, language education, intercultural education, and multilingualism.
