International Conflict and National Public Policy Issues (Applied Social Psychology Annual) - Tapa dura

The variety of contributions to this volume demonstrate the keen interest that social psychologists have shown towards understanding and avoiding international conflict. The book's theme is that psychologists have knowledge, skills, and values that can contribute appreciably to solving international conflict issues and other important national policy questions. As Stuart Oskamp asks in his Introduction, 'What more important application of social science could there be?'
