VDM Petkovic Toni: Preventing Ethnic Conflict and Removing Ethni

The aim of this book is to show how Psychology and Social science in general can make an important contribution to the goal presented in the title of this book. After a brief discussion of the measures to calm ethnic strife that can be implemented on the global political, regional and state level, it focuses on the psychological work with the most important part of the population - the young people. If we can influence substantial change through institutions such as educational and public welfare system, that is the best investment for the long-term stability of the society that Psychology can put forward. What is offered is also a handy guide to practitioners working, or planning to engage in group work with adolescents. It contains a set of carefully described, easy to implement workshops for youth, already tested and proven in practice.
