From Conflict Resolution to Peacebuilding

Charles Hauss


From Conflict Resolution to Peacebuilding is designed to introduce students to the key concepts of conflict resolution from a real world perspective. Covering both micro and macro sites of conflict, it offers ways to resolve conflicts at all levels from the interpersonal to the international.

Starting with the notion that conflict is a fact of life but peacebuilding is not, this text analyzes protracted conflicts and “wicked problems” and also tackles the harder task of how to resolve conflict and build peace. Hauss’ approach to peace and conflict studies is deeply personal and richly informed. Based on a strong research base and decades of experience in the field, the book offers new paradigms for considering the intractable conflicts in our world. Each chapter provides real world examples, stories, and cases that illustrating practical work at both the grass roots and elite levels. In a world where conflict seems to be on the rise at home and abroad, this text provides students with the tools to deal with conflict constructively in their daily lives, as citizens, and as future professionals in the growing field of conflict resolution.



Features:

  • Full suite of textboxes for study and application
  • Key terms and references for further reading
  • Conflict labs to help students apply concepts to real world situations
  • “Out on a Limb” boxes ask readers to consider bold new ideas and paradigm shifts for analyzing conflict and building peace


A dynamic range of open access instructor and student resources can be found at the author’s website: www.chiphauss.info, including:

  • Videos of interviews
  • Curated web links
  • Updates on breaking news
  • Author’s weekly blog

As one who has taught in the peacebuilding field for over 30 years, I have longed for a book that fully integrates the full range of conflict contexts - macro and micro, global and local, social and political, theory and practice. Hauss' book accomplishes this. At a time when recognizing both the destructive nature of conflict, as well as the creative force it can become is so critical, this book provides the breath and depth that is needed for those needing a resource that speaks to them in clear language and has a contemporary vibe.
— David J. Smith, President, Forage Center for Peacebuilding and Humanitarian Education, Author of Peace Jobs: A Student's Guide to Starting a Career Working for Peace


The author has deep understanding and knowledge about Euro-American international politics, scholarly work and peacebuilding organizations. The book consolidate[s] many valuable resources and a lot of information in one place, which [is] very beneficial to both students and professors.
— Gal Harmat, The Academic College of Society and the Arts


Charles Hauss' book is a must-read for all those involved in peacemaking and peacebuilding. For the practitioner, the book offers a refresher in the HOW TO address the root causes of a conflict and it raises once more the awareness of Doing Maximum Good and Do No Harm; for the scholar, the text is rich in applied theory, data points and the discussion of patterns and correlations in order to further contextualize peace and conflict studies; and for the student, Chip offers an indispensable text book, rich in case studies, narratives, complexity and multi-dimensional perspectives on peacebuilding. Whereas the application of liberal peace building may be in crisis, Chip's immense reservoir of knowledge and case studies serves as guidance, operational compass and as a research companion wherever and whenever needed. I enjoyed this book, and I will certainly use it both in my classroom explorations and as a guide to inform my practice.
