Abstract

The book offers to have a look at conflict and its resolution through the lens of microsociology. The author, using the methodological and theoretical tools which she developed, examines how phenomena of violence, non-violent resistance, conflict transformation, peace talks and international meetings can be understood differently within the framework of micro-interactional and micro-social dynamics.

Keywords

microsociology; conflict; peacemaking; rituals of interaction; violence; negotiations.
