Given recent shifts in global power dynamics, there is an apparent need for international policy issues to be addressed in ways that are inclusive of a wider variety of perspectives and approaches. Chinese policy actors are increasingly interested in fostering their own discourse on issues of prevention and peacebuilding, rooted in Chinese experience, and engaging with peers from other contexts. The chapters in this volume explore the rationale for conflict prevention and review prevailing academic and practitioner discourses on fundamental questions such as the rationales for why conflicts should be prevented and whether 'mainstream approaches' are still relevant.This book will be of interest to students of peacebuilding, conflict resolution, Chinese politics, and International Relations.The Open Access version of this book, available at https://www.routledge.com/New-Paths-and-Policies-towards-Conflict-Prevention-Chinese-and/Fung-Gehrmann-Madenyika-Tower/p/book/9780367683368, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives 4.0 license. 606 $aConflict management 606 $aInternational cooperation 606 $aPacific settlement of international disputes 606 $aPeace-building 615 0$aConflict management 615 0$aInternational cooperation 615 0$aPacific settlement of international disputes 615 0$aPeace-building 676 $a327.172 701 $aFung$b Courtney J$01361337 701 $aGehrmann$b Bjorn$01744431 701 $aMadenyika$b Rachel F$01744432 701 $aTower$b Jason G$01744433 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910831833903321 996 $aNew paths towards conflict prevention: Chinese and Swiss perspectives$94174413 997 $aUNINA
