Today, discussing conflict and peace is more urgent than ever. We wish to live in a peaceful world, yet we continually witness the outbreak of new, increasingly violent wars. This book is an essential guide to understanding contemporary conflicts, seeking to reveal their complexity and dynamism. With an interdisciplinary approach, a systemic vision, and an international scope, the text represents a fundamental tool for scholars and peacebuilders who, lacking the proper tools, sometimes find themselves unprepared to face complex conflicts and intervene effectively in crisis situations. Only through a deep understanding of conflict is it possible to avoid superficial or inadequate solutions. This allows for interventions that promote sustainable peace, which is not only a desirable goal but a true necessity for the survival of the world.
