Summary

This book is about international conflict resolution and management.

Designed especially for preservice teachers, this book links substantive, current scholarship on major topics in the management of international conflict with exemplary instructional methods in social studies education. Through vignettes and case studies of actual classroom practice, the reader learns from experienced teachers how they integrate different instructional methods to achieve content goals. The book contains an appendix on resources that provides additional information on organizations, instructional materials, computer networks, and other scholarly work that can help teachers improve their instruction on international conflict management.

Teaching About International Conflict and Peace can make a significant difference in preparing social studies teachers to help their students acquire knowledge and understanding of how the peoples of the world have dealt with international conflict in the past and how increasing global interconnections provide new alternatives for the management of international conflict in the present and future.
