This book provides a comprehensive, interdisciplinary and holistic analysis of the socio-psychological dynamics of intractable conflicts. Daniel Bar-Tal's original conceptual framework is supported by evidence drawn from different disciplines, including empirical data and illustrative case studies. His analysis rests on the premise that intractable conflicts share certain socio-psychological foundations, despite differences in context and other characteristics. He describes a full cycle of intractable conflicts - their outbreak, escalation and reconciliation through peace building. Bar-Tal's framework provides a broad theoretical view of the of the socio-psychological repertoire that develops in the course of long-term and violent conflicts, outlines the factors affecting its formation, demonstrates how it is maintained, points out its functions and describes its consequences. The book also elaborates on the contents, processes and other factors involved in the peace building process.

'The book explains social-psychological thinking on a very complicated topic. By compiling and integrating such a large body of research, not to mention the singularly large body of work he and his team have themselves done, Daniel Bar-Tal has done a tremendous service to research on intractable conflict. This is an accessible, but rich volume. It is a must read for anyone interested in intergroup conflict, or even singular societies engaged in such conflict.' Lucas Mazur, Culture and Psychology
