To do so, it draws leading scholars from across the world\nin a comprehensive exploration of social identity theory and its application to\nsome of the world’s most pressing problems, such as intrastate conflict,\nuprising in the middle east, the refugee crisis, global warming,  racism and peace building. A crucial theme of the\nvolume is that social identity theory affects all of us, no matter whether we\nare currently in a state of conflict or one further along in the peace process.\n \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\nThe volume is organized into two sections. Section 1 focuses\non the development of social identity theory. Grounded in the pioneering work\nof Dr. Henri Tajfel, section 1 provides the reader with a historical background\nof the theory, as well as its current developments. Then, section 2 brings\ntogether a series of country case studies focusing on issues of identity across\nfive continents.  This section enables\ncross-cultural comparisons in terms of methodology and findings, and encourages\nthe reader to identify general applications of identity to the understanding of\npeace as well as applications that may be more relevant in specific contexts.\nTaken together, these two sections provide a contemporary and diverse account\nof the state of social identity research in conflict situations and peace\npsychology today.\n\n\u003cp\u003e It is evident that\nany account of peace requires an intricate understanding of identity both as a\ncause and consequence of conflict, as well as a potential resource to be\nharnessed in the promotion and maintenance of peace. \u003ci\u003eUnderstanding Peace and Conflict Through Social Identity Theory: Contemporary\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eGlobal Perspectives\u003c\/i\u003e aims to help\nachieve such an understanding and as such is a valuable resource to those\nstudying peace and conflict, psychologists, sociologists, anthropologists,\npublic policy makers, and all those interested in the ways in which social\nidentity impacts our world.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2018-05-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319806730\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-29869-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 387\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45988994875532,"sku":"9783319806730","price":197.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319806730.jpg?v=1775758081","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783319806730","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
