Review of “The Oxford Handbook of Intergroup Conflict”
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Oxford Handbook of Intergroup Conflict has the primary aim to bring together the perspectives of social psychology and peace psychology on intergroup conflict, which the editor believes “have grown apart” over the “last several decades” (p. 3), and to “provide a more integrative and cohesive foundation for researchand practiceoriented scholars who seek to develop effective approaches for reducing and resolving conflict, and promoting peaceful relations between groups” (p. 9). In this commentary, I first describe the structure of the book, and summarize and comment on the individual book chapters. Then, I evaluate to what extent the handbook as a whole has achieved its aims, and suggest what might still be missing on our way toward the development of an integrative and encompassing social and peace psychology of intergroup conflict.
