International handbook of war, torture, and terrorism

International Handbook of Reconciliation and Negotiation follows up on the research gathered from the PAIRTAPS (Perspectives on Govermental Aggression and Peace) survey that was administered in over 40 countries worldwide. Where the International Handbook of Government Aggression and Peace focuses on governmental acts of aggression and violence, this book highlights the many actions taken worldwide to secure the rights of individuals to peace and protest, as examined from a theoretical standpoint. The book has both a theory base as well asempirical findings that should appeal to researchers across several disciplines including peace psychology, political science, and sociology. Kathleen Malley-Morrison's research interest is in cross-cultural and international perspectives on violence. She has done extensive research on violence and abuse in families and other intimate relationships. Her current researchprojects focus on the views of ordinary people around the world on the potential right of governments to conduct acts of aggression (e.g., invasion, torture) and the rights of individuals to live in a world of peace and protest against war.
