This book seeks an integrative agenda for preventing deadly conflict by fostering a dynamic interplay between theory and practice. It delineates effective preventive diplomacy to keep disputes from turning into violent conflict and backs this up with a long-term approach to tackle the structural causes of conflict and the development of institutions to promote just solutions to underlying problems. It illuminates the fact that the most secure states are those which provide the greatest human security to their populations.
