Understanding Disputes: The Politics of Argument - Gino Bedani - Paperback

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 increase in conflict in many parts of the world.Caplan, Patricia is the author of 'Understanding Disputes: The Politics of Argument - Gino Bedani - Paperback' with ISBN 9780854969258 and ISBN 085496925X.
