These two volumes form an encyclopedic study of the means of
conflict prevention. The first volume examines agents and
institutions, the second causes and capacities. The choice of
chapters to encompass the components of the subject is careful and
comprehensive, and there is much bredth and wisdom in the chapters
themselves. The volumes deserve a wide and bifocal audience. For
analysts, the two volumes push back the frontiers into new aspects
to study; for practitioners, they show that the challenge is in
applying what we know aplenty, not in hiding behind claims of
ignorance...

It is always a pleasure to come across volumes with the breadth and
scope as the ones edited so perceptively by David Carment and
Albrecht Schnabel. Their gumption illuminates the patterns of
mainstreaming conflict prevention in the post-Cold War period. In
this respect, these tomes are not simply a reassessment of extant
analytical frameworks, but an inspiring mapping of politics and
policy of conflict prevention. Thence, the two parts of Conflict
Prevention are a lasting testimony of the encyclopedic endeavor to
chart the gist of different conflict prevention approaches, while
presenting a cornucopia of insight and best-practice.

The scholarship is first-rate, thorough, and comprehensive. This
work will be a significant contribution to the study, training and
practice of conflict prevention. . . . Overall the original
evidence, comprehensiveness, and integrative nature of the work are
its best features.
