This book draws on twenty-four academic disciplines to provide a critical analysis of some 100 theories that explain the origins, nature, and management of human conflict. The book treats intellectual, individual, moral, interpersonal, organizational, community, political, and international conflicts. It suggests six criteria for distinguishing good from bad theory and discusses how existing theories may be used and improved.
This book by D. A. Churchman is perhaps the ultimate multidisciplinary view of conflict at every level from the family to the family of nations. It is a must for anyone interested in knowing more about the sources of conflict, its essence, and the ways to deal with it. -- Volodymyr Dubovyk, Odessa National University, Ukraine
Why We Fight offers new insights into these timeless issues. I find it extremely useful as I deal with business opportunities and challenges daily throughout Europe where history and culture play such tremendous roles in the way business is done in each country. It is a remarkable book that is very well written. I highly recommend it to anyone involved in international business. -- John J. Harris, Chief Executive, Nestlé Purina PetCare, Europe
The suggested criteria presented in this study… should be engaged by all of us who research and write in the field of conflict studies. -- Oliver Richmond, Saint Andrews University, Scotland
