On September 16, Joseph Pennington, the Charge d’Affaires of
the U.S. Embassy in Armenia, launched "Conflict: From Analysis to
Intervention," a conflict resolution textbook that has been translated
into Armenian with U.S. government funding.

The book translation project features the reprinting of a key work of
American thought on this theme for Armenian audiences. By presenting
American perspectives, the book will contribute to the dialogue on
a wide spectrum of issues related to conflict analysis and resolution.

The book was launched in conjunction with the visit of Dennis Sandole,
a Professor of Conflict Resolution and International Relations at
George Mason University, who traveled to Armenia from September
16-19 under the auspices of the U.S. State Department’s Speaker
Program. Dr. Sandole contributed to the conflict textbook. He holds
a Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of Strathclyde,
Scotland, and is a founding member of George Mason’s Conflict
Resolution program. He has published widely in the field. His most
recent book is "Peace and Security in the Postmodern World: The OSCE
and Conflict Resolution."

While in Armenia, Dr. Sandole will discuss the Conflict Studies
program at Yerevan State University, will speak to students and the
general public, and will meet representatives of think tanks and the
mass media.
