Since the end of the Cold-War, the prevention of conflict escalation into violence through management and resolution has become a fundamental objective of the international system.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eSo how does prevention work when it works, and what can be done when tried and tested practices fail?  In this book, I. William Zartman offers a clear and authoritative guide to the key challenges of conflict prevention and the norms, processes and methods used to dampen and diffuse inter and intra-state conflict in the contemporary world.  Early-stage techniques including �awareness� �de-escalation�, �stalemate�, �ripening�, and �resolution�, are explored in full alongside the late or �crisis� stage techniques of �interruption�, �separation� and �integration�.  Prevention, he argues, is a battle that is never won: there is always more work to be done.  The search for prevention - necessary but still imperfect - continues into new imperatives, new mechanisms, new agents, and new knowledge, which this book helps discover and apply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cb\u003eI.
