Description

This book presents the conception of a system of social identities,
including the system's structure, development and dynamics, and
explores the influence of cultural dimensions and identity salience
on attitudes, behavior, and the structures of consciousness. The
"Four C" model of identity-based conflicts provides fresh
opportunities for analyses of the role of identity in conflicts and
violence. Karina V. Korostelina introduces a model of dealing with
identity conflicts that includes early warning, identity based
training, management of multicultural communities, identity
reconstruction workshops, and negotiation of identity. Every
theoretical chapter in the book is followed by examples of research
and methodological tools for analyzing data on social identities and
identity based conflicts.
