The Scope of This Volume

For most of the twentieth century, researchers and practitioners from 
various academic fields have been interested in the study of social and 
political conflict and in its practical application. However, most 
available readers and anthologies were designed for relatively narrow 
circles of scholars, even those that aspired to see beyond disciplinary 
boundaries. Accordingly, most of these collections are less useful than 
they could be in a globalizing academic marketplace that places more 
value on solving real world problems than on disciplinary purity.

This handbook responds to the demand for a practical and comprehensive 
collection of recent scholarship that transcends disciplinary 
boundaries, consisting of recent and original essays that satisfy the 
growing interest in social and political conflict, preparing any bright 
student with a general interest in ideas about conflict, peace, power, 
and justice with a method of translating seemingly diverse concepts with 
origins in specialized disciplines into a common, if complex, 
transdisciplinary language.

Call for Proposals

Every discipline and even sub-discipline of social science has a roster 
of useful yet confounding terms that sound like jargon from the outside 
but which nevertheless are essential to define key concepts that often 
prove useful for the analysis and resolution of conflict. We invite 
scholars from any discipline or field to contribute a concise essay 
(4000-5000 words) on any concept, keyword, or scientific term that is 
critical for the study of social and political conflict. The test for 
choosing a concept is to isolate a critical term or concept that you 
would insist that any recent graduate student in your field should know. 
In order to cast as wide a net for the capture of critical concepts as 
possible, we invite on scholars from any field that deals in contested 
power, governance, and the negotiation and management of escalated 
tensions to submit an abstract for consideration. In other words, any 
necessary term can be chosen.
