Reviews
“At a time when both national and international relations are undergoing major processes of change, and with the use of violence providing a central tool for the resolution of conflict, this volume is indeed timely in making a major contribution to our understanding of the processes involved. It is highly recommended.” (David N. Ashton, Professor Emeritus, University of Leicester, UK)
