The contributors investigate processes of international conflict transformation and peaceful cooperation.

Reviews

Brigitte Vassort-Rousset's edited volume is a very welcome contribution to scholarship on bilateral relations in international politics. ... The volume enriches the literature on bilateral relations both conceptually and empirically. ... the considerable added value of this collection primarily comes from the combination of its theoretical ambition to further the study of peaceful bilateral relations in international politics and its rich set of empirical case studies. (Kai Oppermann, European Review of International Studies, Vol. 3, 2016)
