Popis: This chapter draws together discussions of the puzzle of continued violent conflict from across social science disciplines, international organizations, and related media coverage. The chapter offers an overview of the main related research and the lack of conclusive findings, which helps explain why violence persists despite widespread international efforts to prevent it. This chapter offers an overview of the findings on conflict resolution processes by scholars in the field of political science. It then draws from business scholarship and overviews research suggesting the positive contributions the private sector can and does make toward peace. It concludes by highlighting the problems of having disjointed approaches and offering a conceptual framework for how these distinct approaches can be combined to generate a more comprehensive understanding of conflict resolution.
