"Major processes of social change, such as democratization, uneven development, and power transitions, sometimes lead to armed conflicts, sometimes to peaceful change. Under what conditions are violent conflicts arising from such changes prevented? Hugh Miall draws upon conflict theory, case studies of averted conflict and a survey of the preventors of war since 1945 to explore this question. He also looks ahead to discuss the prevention of emerging global conflicts, focusing on climate change."--Publisher description.
