‘It is a great privilege for me to recommend the Routledge Handbook of Peace and Conflict Studies. Peace and Conflict Studies were initiated by Johan Galtung more than fifty years ago. Since then these studies have expanded enormously and developed their own unique identity. This Handbook contains many outstanding contributions by peace researchers, scholars and others, including important introductory and concluding articles by the editors themselves. It is a “must-read” for all students, teachers and researchers of peace and conflict studies, and of conflict resolution. In general, the Routledge Handbook of Peace and Conflict Studies will be useful for all who are working in the field of conflict resolution in the world.’
