He is co-author with Tom Woodhouse and Hugh Miall of Contemporary Conflict Resolution (Polity 1999, 2005, 2011). He is co-series editor of Routledge Studies in Peace and Conflict Resolution. He has written several books and articles on the theme of the paper being presented to the conference, including Choices: Nuclear and Non-Nuclear Defence Options (Brasseys 1987), Humanitarian Intervention in Contemporary Conflict (Polity 1995) and, most recently, Transforming Violent Conflict: Radical Disagreement, Dialogue and Survival (Routledge 2010). The empirical work on which the paper is based has been conducted since 2006 by ORG with the Palestinian Strategy Group and the Israeli Strategic Forum (funded first by the European Union and then by the Norwegian government).
