Description
Building upon Mitchell's earlier work, The Structure of International Conflict, this volume surveys the field of conflict analysis and resolution in the twenty-first century, exploring the methods which people have sought to mitigate destructive processes including the creative and innovative new ways of resolving insoluble disputes.
Reviews
The Nature of Intractable Conflict is a valuable compendium, enriched by Mitchells pursuit of distilling relevant but over-researched topics. Moreover, his own insights scattered throughout the text links his survey of the subject of intractability with emerging trends in current scholarship, which makes this book a relevant signpost in new research. (Ian Niccolo V. Tobia, European Review of International Studies, Vol. 3 (3), 2016)
