Positioning theory is the study of the nature, formation, influence and ways of change of local systems of rights and duties as shared assumptions about them influence small scale interactions. This volume applies positioning theory in order to achieve a fuller and more in-depth understanding of conflict and its psychological resolution. The editors approach positioning from the micro (interpersonal) level all the way to the macro (intergroup and international) level. The book draws from the increasing research and literature on positional theory to focus on topics of current national and international interest, including conflicts in Rwanda, Iran, the European Union, and the United States.
