9780415552080 0415552087 This book explores what can be done when conflict resolution fails. It investigates intractable conflicts and their main verbal manifestation - radical disagreement., This book investigates intractable conflicts and their main verbal manifestation - radical disagreement - and explores what can be done in the communicative sphere when conflict resolution fails. Conflict resolution sees radical disagreement as a terminus to dialogue that must be overcome from the outset, not learnt from. The book argues that, on the contrary, radical disagreement - agonistic dialogue - is the key to linguistic intractability. When dialogue for mutual understanding proves premature, it is agonistic dialogue that needs to be acknowledged, explored, understood and managed through a strategic engagement of discourses. This is illustrated through the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It begins not with exchanges between conflict parties but with inclusive strategic dialogue within them. This approach challenges some of the basic assumptions in the fields of discourse analysis, conflict analysis, and conflict resolution, and opens up new possibilities for discursive engagement. It also has wider implications for cognate disciplines, such as applied ethics, democratic theory, cultural studies, and the philosophy of difference. This book will be of great Interest to students of conflict resolution, peace and conflict studies, ethnic conflict, security studies and international relations, as well as to practitioners and analysts. Book jacket., This book is about radical disagreements, which are the chief manifestation of intractable conflicts between human beings., This edition features the exact same content as the traditional book in a convenient, three-hole- punched, loose-leaf version. Books a la Carte also offer a great value-this format costs significantly less than a new textbook. Classic, yet contemporary. Theoretical, yet applied. McClave & Sincich's Statistics: A First Course in Statistics gives you the best of both worlds. This book offers a trusted, comprehensive introduction to statistics that emphasizes inference and integrates real data throughout. The authors stress the development of statistical thinking, the assessment of credibility, and value of the inferences made from data. The Eleventh Edition infuses a new focus on ethics, which is critically important when working with statistical data. Chapter Summaries have a new, study-oriented design, helping students stay focused when preparing for exams. Data, exercises, technology support, and Statistics in Action cases are updated throughout the book. In addition, MyStatLab will have increased exercise coverage and two new banks of questions to draw from: Getting Ready for Stats and Conceptual Question Library. Ideal for one- or two-semester courses in introductory statistics, this book assumes a mathematical background of basic algebra. Flexibility is built in for instructors who teach a more advanced course, with optional footnotes about calculus and the underlying theory. This package contains: Books a la Carte for A First Course in Statistics, Eleventh Edition, This title explores methods of managing radical disagreement and creating dialogues in violent and intractable conflicts, using the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as context.
