Developing a solid basis for future research and training, this illuminating volume facilitates peace and mutual understanding between people by addressing a root cause of social conflicts: identity constructions. Eight case studies examine how identities are constructed, how they relate to borders and in what ways they foment peace or conflict. The volume formulates an analytical framework for understanding the role of identity constructions in conflict or peace
