From the reviews: "Psychological Components of Sustainable Peace ... provides empirical support for optimism and valuable suggestions as to how to translate optimism into a less violent world. Although it is likely to be of particular interest to peace psychologists and their graduate students, its emphasis on multidisciplinary collaboration and its contributions from experts in areas such as conflict resolution, anthropology, sociology, and linguistics will make it a valuable source for scholars from other social sciences."
