Developed by the UN Staff College, this handbook provides an overview of the evolution and current practice of conflict analysis; explores the changing patterns of violent conflicts in the world today and suggests how new and unconventional disci¬plines – such as systems thinking – can be integrated to complement traditional conflict analysis approaches; and finally articulates the steps required to conduct an ideal conflict analysis process. It presents some guiding principles and screening questions that are critical to design an effective and fit-for-purpose analysis process; it then walks the user through the imple-mentation of the actual assessment, providing guidance with regard to the various tools.
