Synopsis
In the globally interconnected world, conflicts often arise as a result of tensions between different cultural perceptions and diverse social preferences. Effectively managing conflicts and harmonizing intercultural relationships are essential tasks of intercultural communication research. This book seeks to find effective intercultural conflict management solutions by bringing together a group of leading international scholars from different disciplines to tackle the problem. Consisting of two parts, this book covers major theoretical perspectives of conflict management and harmony development in the first and conflict management and harmony development in different cultural contexts in the second. Integrating the latest work on conflict management and intercultural harmony, Conflict Management and Intercultural Communication takes an interdisciplinary approach, adopts diverse perspectives, and provides for a wide range of discussions. It will serve as a useful resource for teachers, researchers, students and professionals alike.

'Intercultural conflict management is becoming a key communication concern. In particular globalization and the emergence of the Internet have led to tremendously increased interactions across cultures. This book addresses critical perspectives, addressing both multiple perspectives and multiple cultural contexts.

The book is well conceptualized, relevant, and that it represents important perspectives. It is a valuable contribution to the field. I strongly endorse it.' - Norbert Mundorf, Professor, Harrington School of Communication and Media, University of Rhode Island

'In an environment of change and uncertainty, this book is a significant contribution to the study of intercultural conflict management. Exploring different conflict styles, the anthology addresses interactive issues in conflict negotiation and management in intercultural and multicultural settings.
