Conflict Literature: A Sociological Perspective

The book originated at a workshop in Delhi University’s Department of Sociology in 2010. Consequently it helps fill a gap in writings on internal security that are usually security related and state centric at that. The development perspective relying on human security and peace studies on conflict resolution frameworks are fast emerging as strong competitors. Nevertheless, the sociological angle deserved greater visibility than it has received so far, even if it has been much in evidence within the academia and in progressive tracts.
