This volume focuses on the vital role of mediated messages in an array of conflict settings. Adopting a broad-based view of conflict, it examines the role of emotions, threats, discourse patterns, music, and iconic photographs in international, organizational, crisis-management, and work-family controversies. As such, it offers a unique perspective to the role of messages, symbols, and media in critical conflict situations.
