Education and Conflict is a critical review of education in an international context. Based on the author's extensive research and experience of education in several areas afflicted by conflict, the book explores the relationship between schooling and social conflict and looks at conflict internal to schools. It posits a direct link between the ethos of a school and the attitudes of future citizens towards "others". It also looks at the nature and purpose of peace education and war education, and addresses the role of gender and masculinity.

The impersonal hand of government can never replace the helping hand of a neighbor. -- Hubert H. Humphrey
