This is one of the major questions in conflict research. To offer further answers, Richard Bo?sch follows a tripartite agenda: First, he develops a constructivist methodology for the study of conflict escalation embedded in a Luhmannian systems theoretical world society perspective. Bo?sch argues that conflicts can be observed as social systems and he looks at the process of conflict escalation by analysing communication. Second, this analysis offers two case studies: the Maidan protests in Ukraine 2013-2014 and Mali's crisis 2010-2012. Third, it gives insights on how systems theoretical research can be beneficial for Peace and Conflict Studies. 610 $aInternational relations 610 $aPeace 610 $aPolitical science 700 $aRichard Bösch$01438792 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910758498303321 996 $aObserving Conflict Escalation in World Society: Ukraine's Maidan and Mali's Breakup$93600537 997 $aUNINA
