Synopsis: Walter Isard is the pioneer of the study of those disagreements between cultures and nations that lead to armed conflict. In this book he presents the results of his research to a wide range of readers. He draws together insights from economics, anthropology, sociology, psychology, political science, geography, regional science and cognitive science. Although the author is widely recognized for his competence in mathematical modelling and abstract social science analysis, he addresses his arguments and explanations here to the non-mathematical social scientist and the general reader. The basic materials are presented in elementary textbook fashion so readers gain from insights of a wide range of scholarship, not least the author's own. In addition, this book shows how the processes of conflict resolution and peace-making actually work. The reader is exposed to models and theories used by those in international negotiating teams observes how various strategies have been adopted and follows the nature of their outcomes successful or otherwise.
