Emotions in Conflict

'This book provides a detailed, nuanced, and novel perspective on the role of emotions in intergroup conflict and conflict resolution. Drawing on Halperin’s own extensive work in this area and integrating it with other relevant research, this book has the potential to quickly become a classic in the field.'—Johanna Ray Vollhardt, Assistant Professor of Psychology, Clark University 'Although many books have been written about violent conflicts, relatively few focus on the important factor that is also responsible for their eruption, escalation and resolution—namely human emotions. This book by Eran Halperin is a pivotal contribution in closing this lacuna. He originally, eloquently, and comprehensively tackles the issue of emotions in conflict by providing a holistic analysis that not only elaborates on the role of specific emotions, but also and especially provides a holistic conceptual framework of emotions' functioning in the challenging context of intergroup violence.' —Daniel Bar-Tal, Tel Aviv University, Israel 'This book provides a detailed, nuanced, and novel perspective on the role of emotions in intergroup conflict and conflict resolution.
