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.

Conflict Resilience : Negotiating Disagreement Without Giving Up or Giving In
Two former Harvard faculty—one an internationally-recognized negotiator and conflict management expert from Harvard Law, the other a leading behavioral neurologist and cutting-edge scientist from Harvard Med—join forces to introduce conflict resilience: the radical act of sitting in and growing from conflict to break the bad habits that sabotage our politics, workplaces, and most important relationships. Conflict is getting the better of us. From our homes and community centers to C-Suites and Congress, disagreements are happening everywhere, with increasing frequency, and are being treated like zero-sum games that allow little margin for error and even less room for productive conversations.This puts a tremendous and untenable strain on our most important relationships and institutions. Unable or unwilling to negotiate conflict with skill, we ignore it or avoid it for as long as possible; when we are forced to face it, we escalate everyday disagreements and temporary flare-ups as if they’re life-and-death.Neither approach addresses underlying issues, promotes stronger relationships, or yields satisfying results. But there is a solution: a combined skillset and mindset that Bob Bordone calls “conflict resilience”—the ability to sit genuinely with and grow from disagreement.In this powerful, hopeful book, he and renowned neurologist Joel Salinas, MD, combine the inner mechanics of conflict—literally what’s going on in our bodies and our brains during moments of distress—with a groundbreaking three-step framework for how to navigate it:NAME (& dig deep)EXPLORE (& be brave)COMMIT (& own the conflict)In a time of increasing polarization, where consensus, agreement, and problem-solving can sometimes feel elusive, Conflict Resilience provides practical solutions to a common dilemma: How do you handle disagreements and differences with integrity while finding a way to create strong, deep, and lasting relationships?Conflict Resilience is not another book about conflict resolution, nor is it about problem solving.Conflict Resilience combines practical applications of advanced conflict management and study of the human brain to teach anyone how to turn conflict and negotiation into an act of union.This book provides the most cutting-edge and scientifically-grounded tools for driving agreement when possible and for empowering you to disagree better when the differences cut deep and the relationships matter most.This is a chance to bring people together, and an invitation to radically transform how we interact with our friends and families, our co-workers, our students, and our neighbors—anyone with whom we find ourselves in disagreement.

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.

What is the difference between a conflict and a social conflict?
A conflict is a general term that refers to any disagreement or struggle between two or more parties. It can be personal, professional, or societal in nature. On the other hand, a social conflict specifically refers to a disagreement or struggle between different social groups or classes within a society. Social conflicts often involve issues related to power, resources, and social inequality, and they can have a significant impact on the functioning of a society as a whole.

What is the difference between an intrarole conflict and an interrole conflict?
Intrarole conflict occurs when an individual experiences conflicting demands within a single role, such as when a manager is torn between two equally important tasks. On the other hand, interrole conflict arises when there are conflicting demands between different roles an individual occupies, like when a person struggles to balance their responsibilities as a parent and as an employee. Essentially, intrarole conflict involves conflicts within a specific role, while interrole conflict involves conflicts between different roles.

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.

Climate Change, Conflict and (In)Security : Hot War
This book offers a multidisciplinary exploration of how climate change is impacting conflicts, contention, and competition in the world. The volume examines how climate change is creating and exacerbating insecurities for millions of people globally, and how states, inter-governmental bodies, and others are attempting to meet challenges today and in the near and medium term.It shows that climate change insecurity is relevant to a battery of security areas, including warfighting, stabilisation, human security, influence, and resilience and capacity building.The volume provides insights into how climate change has and will impact security at different scales and in different localities, including national and ethnic tensions, food and water security, resource competition, mass displacement, and even the recruitment profiles and operations of violent and extremist organisations.With contributions from pioneering researchers and practitioners, the book discusses shifting operational requirements and responsibilities, and the need for clarity around the size and shape of capacity gaps. In addition to practitioners and policy-makers working in these areas, the book will be of significant interest to researchers and students of defence studies, peace and conflict studies, climate change and environmental security, and International Relations.

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.

Women of the Somali Diaspora : Refugees, Resilience and Rebuilding After Conflict
This book is about Somali mothers and daughters who came to Britain in the 1990s to escape civil war.Many had never left Somalia before, followed nomadic traditions, did not speak English, were bereaved and were suffering from PTSD. Their stories begin with war and genocide in the north, followed by harrowing journeys via refugee camps, then their arrival and survival in London.Joanna Lewis exposes how they rapidly recovered, mobilising their networks, social capital and professional skills.Crucial to the recovery of the now breakaway state of (former British) Somaliland, these women bore a huge burden, but inspired the next generation, with many today caught between London and a humanitarian impulse to return home. Lewis reveals three histories. Firstly, the women's personal history, helping us to understand resilience as an individual, lived historical process that is both positive and negative, and both inter- and intra-generational.Secondly, a collective history of refugees as rebuilders, offering insight into the dynamism of the Somali diaspora.Finally, the forgotten history and hidden legacies of Britain's colonial past, which have played a key role in shaping this dramatic, sometimes upsetting, but always inspiring story: the power of women to heal the scars of war.
