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.
