"Business schools are placing more emphasis on the role of business in society. Top business school accreditors are shifting to mandating that schools teach their students about the social impact of business, including AACSB standards to require the incorporation of business impact on society into all elements of accredited institutions. Researchers are also increasingly focused on issues related to sustainability, but in particular to business and peace as a field. A strong strain of scholarship argues that ethics is nurtured by the emotions and through aesthetic quests for moral excellence. The arts (and music as shown specifically in this book) can be a resource to nudge positive emotions in the direction toward ethical behavior, and logically, then toward peace. Business provides a model for positive interactions that not only foster long-term successful business, but also incrementally influences society. This book provides an opportunity for an integration and recognition of how music (and other art forms) can further encourage business toward the direction of peace while business provides a platform for the dissemination and modelling of the positive capabilities of music toward the aims of peace in the world today. The primary market for this book is the academic audience. Unlike many other academic books, however, the interdisciplinary nature of the book allows for multiple academic audiences. Thus, this book reaches into schools of music, business, political science, film studies, sports and society studies, the humanities, ethics, and of course, peace studies"--

This book offers a comparative regional perspective on the conflictual long peace of Southeast Asia and South America. In South America, despite persistent territorial disputes and regime instability, war has been the exception rather than the rule since the 1940s. In Southeast Asia since the 1960s, war has largely eluded the region's states, despite territorial disputes and interstate rivalries that remain all but endemic. This book explores and accounts for these realities. It finds that regional interstate relations are shaped by particular habitual dispositions, discrete sets of processual and substantive qualities of relations understood and enacted largely as a matter of course by diplomatic communities of practice. Different habitual dispositions in each case shape conflict management and regionalism in important ways and lead to a tolerance of limited regional violence. The book expands on new developments in social international relations theory to develop a practice-oriented and interpretive account of regional relations, drawing on detailed interviews with regional practitioners. The book centers on exploring the existence of habitual dispositions in each case and tracing their role across crucial cases of regional conflict management, including the Southeast Asian response to the Preah Vihear dispute in 2011 and the South American response to the Cenepa conflict in 1995.

"This book explores the privatization of space and its global impact on the future of commerce, peace and conflict. As space becomes more congested, contested, and competitive in the government and the private arenas, the talk around space research moves past NASA's monopoly on academic and cultural imaginations to discuss how Elon Musk's Space X and Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin is making space 'cool' again. This volume addresses the new rhetoric of space race and weaponization, with a focus on how the costs of potential conflict in space would discourage open conflict and enable global cooperation. It highlights the increasing dependence of the global economy on space research, its democratization, plunging costs of access, and growing economic potential of space-based assets. Thoughtful, nuanced, well-documented, this book is a must read for scholars and researchers of science and technology studies, space studies, political studies, sociology, environmental studies, and political economy. It will also be of much interest to policy makers, bureaucrats, think-tanks, as well as the interested general reader looking for fresh perspectives on the future of space"--

"This book focuses on three areas of conflict, two of which I have personally spent many decades involved with. It examines conflict and peace building from the ground up and gives a rare account of the necessary skills of managing strategic goals in dangerous and complex situations and brilliantly describes how hardship must be managed to keep society and life moving forward." - Bertie Ahern, Former Taoiseach and signatory of the Belfast (Good Friday) Agreement "Murphy’s highly readable and insightful account articulates new lines of research inquiry in the emerging field of management and peace building. She invites and provokes in equal measure. A critical and accessible resource for all academics and organisational actors interested in ‘managing conflict’. " - Hastings Donnan, Director, Senator George J. Mitchell Institute for Global Peace, Security and Justice "This important book is founded on an ambitious study of the leadership and management of public services, economic renewal, links with NGO's and the expression of culture and the Arts in violent conflicts in Northern Ireland, Bosnia and the Basque country. These conflicts are often portrayed solely through the eyes of political and security elites. Here the distinctive and additive focus is on the personal accounts of middle and senior managers accommodating and shaping organisational life in and around the conflicts. The book is enriched by a strong conceptual structure and a compelling and accessible writing style which will ensure its impact in academia and beyond." - Andrew Pettigrew OBE, FBA, Emeritus Professor of Strategy and Organisation, Said Business School, University of Oxford War and conflict are a reality of life throughout the world. While much is written about the impact of violence and disorder, how people and organisations adapt to these environments is poorly understood. This book tells the story of people managing, delivering services and sustaining economies through and beyond violent conflict and in the most extreme environments. Dr Joanne Murphy is a Senior Lecturer in Queen's Management School and Academic Director of the William J. Clinton Leadership Institute. Her research explores leadership, change and organisational development in politically volatile environments. .
