About this book
Reviews
“This book provides fundamental coverage of our contemporary knowledge of how linkages between economic conditions and human actions feed into each other so as to mediate uses of violence and non-violence in societies. Its worldwide and historically deep use of existing evidence makes the book a unique resource for anybody who is interested in understanding the realities of the human mind in the context of our globalizing economic conditions. It is a must for politicians, economists, and the broader public who is seriously interested in understanding why violence prevails, and preventing it from happening once again.” (Jaan Valsiner, Niels Bohr Professor of Cultural Psychology, Aalborg University, Denmark)
“Asher and Mirovitskaya have written a helpful roadmap for development professionals attempting to design programs which reduce the likelihood of intercommunal violence. By considering the risks and rewards of alternative approaches to conflict prevention, their nuanced study avoids both naïve enthusiasm and undue cynicism for development programs as a solution.” (Andrew Natsios, Professor and Director of the Scowcroft Institute of InternationalAffairs, George H.W. Bush School of Government, Texas A&M University, USA)
