Synopsis This book examines these two vital questions and provides a solid framework on which to build answers. Teaching of Peace and Conflict Resolution presents a collection of the most current thought and insights into how children and adolescents develop an understanding of war, conflict, and peace. The contributors present persuasive evidence that the knowledge about how youngsters from around the globe develop and form worldviews can be used to create educational programs that teach children peace education, conflict management, and conflict resolution. This is an indispensable guide for psychologists, educators, and anyone concerned with building a solid foundation for a more peaceful world through knowledge and education. It offers an international perspective on how the concepts of war and peace develop in children and how, through overt teaching of conflict resolution and peacemaking skills in schools, a more peaceful world could be created.
