About the Book

Critical Issues in Peace and Conflict Studies: Theory, Practice, and Pedagogy is a comprehensive collection of essays edited by Thomas Matyók, Jessica Senehi, and Sean Byrne. The book explores the emerging field of Peace and Conflict Studies (PACS), which includes scholars and practitioners working in conflict analysis and resolution, conflict management, appropriate dispute resolution, peace studies, and justice studies.

Drawing from a diverse range of approaches, ideas, and disciplinary roots, the book addresses key issues and dilemmas that continue to challenge the field. With contributions from notable experts, it presents a thorough examination of contemporary conflicts and suggests frameworks for future development in PACS.

This volume is ideal for students across undergraduate, graduate, and post-graduate levels. It is also a valuable resource for practitioners working in community conflict resolution, humanitarian aid, and peacebuilding efforts. The collection aims to help academics, students, and practitioners understand and confront the complexities of peace and conflict, while proposing methods and solutions for peacebuilding.
