Basic concepts, issues and strategies of peace and conflict resolution: Nigerian-African conflict case studies

摘要

This introductory but important book, Basic concepts, issues and strategies of peace and conflict resolution, written by Aja Akpuru-Aja, a professor of policy, defence and strategic studies at Abia State University, Uturu in Nigeria, seeks to introduce and stimulate research awareness for the exploration of peace and conflict resolution principles.rnThe book is organised into 12 chapters. The first two chapters provide theoretical perspectives, the first focusing on peace and the second on conflict. The author does an excellent job of covering contending theoretical perspectives on peace and conflict from a multidisciplinary perspective, including philosophical, sociological, political, psychological, environmental and Marxist points of view.
