What is social conflict? What are its prominent characteristics and most common forms? Is conflict inevitable? How do social structure and unequal distribution of power affect the prevalence and nature of conflict? Are there positive consequences of conflict? What actions can be taken to prevent conflict? Can conflict be predicted and forestalled? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJoseph S. Himes effectively demonstrates that contemporary social science can provide answers to most of these questions. His responses to the questions are drawn from social science literature, theory, and research and are organized around two central issues: the effort to understand social conflict and the task of managing it. \u003ci\u003eConflict and Conflict Management\u003c\/i\u003e is divided into two sections, each covering one of these two central issues. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe importance of Himes's overview is threefold. In the first place, it unites recent theory and research in a systematic synthesis. Secondly, it grounds the strategies of conflict management in a theory of conflict causation, thus providing a rationale for the strategies discussed. And finally, his work illuminates the study of social conflict by differentiating legitimate from nonlegitimate expressions and thus clarifies both the task of analysis and the business of management.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJOSEPH S.
