In Handbook of Conflict and Peace Communication, renowned communication and media scholar Dr. Sudeshna Roy delivers an authoritative exploration of a variety of critical conflicts in the world and a spectrum of approaches to peace communication. This book offers an in-depth view of how intricate and intractable conflicts can be and how the communicative aspects of conflict are equally challenging. The author reviews and guides readers through classic and contemporary analysis in the field, providing a truly interdisciplinary work.
Handbook of Conflict and Peace Communication is divided into five navigable sections - Theory Development, Method Development, Traditional/Digital Media and Peace and Conflict, Case Studies, and Innovative Approaches - that help illuminate workable and innovative peace communication strategies relevant to today’s conflicts.
Readers will also find: - Informative contributions from a collection of outstanding scholars, practitioners, and activists - Comprehensive explorations of past conflict communication theory in the context of contemporary theory - Practical tools to navigate complex local and global conflicts - In-depth examinations of strategies of peace communication from the margins that acknowledge and elevate solutions for and from the most vulnerable
Perfect for undergraduate and graduate students, scholars, and practitioners of peace and conflict studies, media studies, intercultural communication, human rights, and social justice, Handbook of Conflict and Peace Communication will also earn a place in the libraries of interdisciplinary studies involving philosophy, anthropology, political science, history, geography, economics, psychology, and others.
