The social psychology of group identity and social conflict theory application and practice

Synopsis

"The Social Psychology of Group Identity and Social Conflict: Theory, Application, and Practice examines the far-reaching influence of Herbert C. Kelman, a psychologist who is both a scientist and a peacemaker. Kelman is renowned for his contributions to the study of social influence as well as to international conflict resolution and the peace research movement. He developed the interactive problem-solving method, which helped lay the groundwork for the 1993 Oslo agreement between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization. His work has profoundly affected the ways in which social psychologists think about the links between personal and national identity, between intragroup and intergroup processes, and between individual behavior and the functioning of social systems."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
