The Micro-Sociology of Peace and Conflict

How  do micro-interactions of resistance, fighting and dialogue shape larger  patterns of peace and conflict? How can nonviolent resistance, conflict  transformation and diplomacy be analyzed in micro-detail? Exploring  these questions, Isabel Bramsen introduces micro-sociology to Peace  Research and International Relations. Breaking new methodological,  empirical and theoretical ground, Bramsen develops a novel theoretical  and analytical framework for analyzing micro-dynamics of peace and  conflict. The book features chapters on the methods of micro-sociology  (including Video Data Analysis) as well as analytical chapters on  violence, nonviolence, conflict transformation, peace talks and  international meetings. It is at once broad and specific, analyzing a  wide variety of phenomena and cases, while also introducing very  specific lenses to analyzing peace and conflict. Presenting a highly  practical and micro-detailed approach, The Micro-Sociology of Peace and  Conflict will be of use to students, researchers, practitioners,  activists and diplomats interested in understanding and addressing  contemporary conflicts. This title is also available as open access on  Cambridge Core.
