Understanding disputes
the politics of argument
by Patricia Caplan
- 1 Want to read
Are disputes ever really resolved, or do people need to find ways of accommodating them and living with the consequences? Can dispute settlement procedures at the local level be transferred to wider environments? In attempting to answer these questions, some of the foremost specialists in the anthropology of law and disputing behaviour examine how people in a variety of social settings, ranging from Ireland to East Africa, deal with quarrels and seek to resolve or accommodate them.
This stimulating volume should be of interest to anyone concerned about the huge increase in conflict in many parts of the world.
